NEW MALE singers will be particularly welcomed to a Come and Sing Choral Classics event.
It is being organised by the renowned Froxfield Choir on Saturday, March 3, and music will include some of the great choruses from Handel’s Messiah, including the Hallelujah Chorus, as well as the composer’s Zadok the Priest, Parry’s I was Glad, Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine and David Fanshawe’s rousing Lord’s Prayer from African Sanctus.
According to Nico Jackson, who handles publicity for the choir: “It should be a stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable day of music making.”
The rehearsal will run from 2.30pm, with a performance at 6.30pm. The whole event will take place at St Peter’s Church, High Cross, Froxfield, and there will be a break for tea with refreshments provided by members of the choir.
Payment on the day is £10 for singers, £5 for the audience. Music is provided, but if any participants have a copy of the Novello edition of Messiah it would be helpful.
Formal concert dress is not required, so clothes in which singers will feel comfortable to wear both for rehearsing and performing are suggested.
