AGM and the start of our new season

EW — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 19:01:12 +0000

The Annual General Meeting for all members of the Society will be held on Wednesday 8th September 2010, at 7.30 p.m. in Sunderland Minster. Papers for the meeting will be circulated by post ahead of that date. Rehearsals for the new season begin on the following Wednesday, the 15th of September. We look forward to seeing you there.

Concert Posters as a PDF file

EW — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 15:19:13 +0000

This is a test of whether a concert poster can be made available on the website for use by members if they do not have a preprinted poster to hand for publicity.

Rutter Bruckner Poster 0610

If this link works it will provide a .pdf file which can be printed out in the normal way on your own computer. This first attempt has been made using a scanned version of the poster and hence the quality is not as high as it might be. For future concerts we will provide a PDF version of the original. As these are only intended as a back-up to the printed versions made available at rehearsals, they will be posted under the members section rather than under general publicity.

Any comments on this approach will be welcome.

Young Singers start rehearsals

Rehearsals for the new season start on Friday the 11th September at 6.00 p.m. until 7.00 p.m. at the usual venue, Ewesley Road Methodist Church. We look forward to seeing all of our regular members there – plus any new ones who might have been encouraged to come.

To prepare for our involvement in this year’s NEPAC Last Night of the Proms (to be held in the City Hall, Newcastle on Saturday October 17th 2009) rehearsals have been scheduled for the evenings of Thursday October 8th and Thursday the 15th at 7.30 p.m. in Brunswick Methodist Church (next to Fenwick’s in Newcastle). Full details of concert in Events section. On the Saturday there will be a 2.00 p.m. rehearsal before the concert at 7.00 p.m. Please note : Some of the rehearsal dates and times have been changed.

Change of date for Songs of Praise

EW — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:43:04 +0000

The Sunderland programme will now be broadcast on Sunday 26th of July around 5 p.m. This change has been made to allow it to be shown on BBC1 which gets more viewers and will “maximise its impact” according to the BBC. Please pass on this change to anyone you have already mentioned the programme to.

Songs of Praise

EW — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 18:29:44 +0000

We have received confirmation that the recordings made by the Society in November will form the opening and closing items of ‘Songs of Praise from Sunderland and the North East’ which is being broadcast on BBC2 on Sunday 19th July 2009 around 5 p.m. Why not tell your friends to look out for it.

2009 AGM & Season Start

EW — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 10:10:23 +0000

The Society’s Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 9th September 2009 at 7.30 p.m. in Sunderland Minster. The first rehearsal of the new season will be on Wednesday 16th September. Choir members are asked to attend sufficiently early for scores to be distributed ahead of the start of the rehearsal. Please remember to have £5.00 available for score hire.

Rehearsals – Summer 2009 Season

EW — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 12:03:57 +0000

There will be no rehearsals on Wednesday 1st or 8th of April. The next rehearsal will be on Wednesday April 15th, same time, same place!

January Rehearsal Start

EW — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 11:38:06 +0000

Every good wish to members of the Society for 2009!

New year, new work, new start of rehearsals on Wednesday January 7th 2009. It would be very helpful if members could arrive a little earlier than usual to facilitate the handing out of scores so that a prompt start can be made to the actual rehearsal itself at 7.30 p.m. It would also be helpful if anyone planning to hire a score could come with the correct change (£5) to do this.

Look forward to seeing everyone there.
