Choir - Madrigals
Rehearsals are held weekly from September to July, with occasional breaks, and take place in Digby Memorial Church Hall, Digby Road, on Mondays from 2.00 – 4.00pm.
We are a small mixed group of about fifteen singers. We sing mainly for the pure joy of singing but also enjoy the occasional public performance. For example, in December we joined the main choir in a Christmas Carol concert (“Carols for All”) held in Cheap Street Church during the Christmas Tree Festival and this year we have taken part in several evening events, including one to celebrate the arrival of Spring and another to celebrate Midsummer’s Eve.
During the year we have continued to expand our repertoire, covering a wide range of styles, and attempted some more challenging pieces. However, singing early music seems to be what we most enjoy and rehearsals usually begin or end with a madrigal or two!
Anyone interested in joining the group needs to be a reasonably good sight reader (or a very quick learner). If you would like to find out more about us please contact the Membership Secretary via the website and he will put you in touch with the group leader.
