Dorothy Hardy, currently finishing her Glass and Ceramics BA Degree at Sunderland University, has taken inspiration from Bishopwearmouth Choral Society and created a stunning piece in glass, entitled ‘Interactive Choir’. Her approach is outlined below in her artist’s statement and it is hoped the members and friends of the Society will have the opportunity of viewing the piece itself at a performance.

Once again, Bishopwearmouth Choral Society is taking part in this Saturday evening concert at the City Hall Newcastle.
Organised by North East Promenaders against Cancer (NEPAC), this now annual charity concert is in its 19th year and will feature singers including Janice Cairns, Suzanne Manuell, Blake Fischer and Bradley Creswick (Violin), backed by a strong choir.
Tickets are £13 to £27, obtainable from the City Hall Box Office (Tel: 2612606) or from www.ticketmaster.co.uk
To prepare for our involvement in this year’s NEPAC Last Night of the Proms (to be held at the City Hall, Newcastle on Saturday October 18th 2008) rehearsals have been scheduled for Thurday 9th October (at Brusnwick Methodist Church, Newcastle) and Friday 17th October (at Sunderland Minster). Full details of the concert – prices etc – will be posted in the Events section as soon as possible.
Is your choir planning to perform Bach’s St.John Passion?
We have now added 50 new copies of the Bärenreiter vocal score to our Hire Library, together with the orchestral parts and a conductor’s score. For hire arrangements please see our Hire Library web page, where the scores will be properly listed at the next revision of the site.
