Jumble Sale
On Tuesday 11th September rehearsals begin for the 2013 concerts. Rehearsals are at Meldreth Primary School, from 7.30 to 9.30 every week, conducted by Adrian Jacobs. The New Melbourn Singers are part of the Cambridgeshire Choral Society and come together with other village choirs once a month for a combined rehearsal at Comberton Village College, under our main conductor Andrew Parnell. The first combined rehearsal is on Saturday 6th October at 1.45–4pm. In 2013 the Cambridgeshire Choral Society will be performing two concerts, the first at West Road Concert Hall will be David Fanshawe’s ‘African Sanctus’, a very exciting work incorporating the music from many parts of North Africa, and which has been performed all over the world. The second concert on Saturday 27th April will consist of the ‘Faure Requiem’ and the Vivaldi ‘Gloria’. All three pieces will be rehearsed side by side so it is necessary to attend all rehearsals.

Royston Arts Festival More than 50 events are planned during the Royston Arts Festival running from Thursday 27 September to Sunday 30 September. Festival chairman Graham Palmer said: We have attempted to provide something for everyone, from drama to music and from workshops to exhibitions. The theme of About Time runs through all the events and those taking part appear to have taken this up with a great deal of enthusiasm. There will be a number of music events which include a performance from the husband-and-wife duo Megson, in the Royston Parish Church on Friday 28 September. Megson will be supported by Sarah Louise, a singer-songwriter from Meldreth. Classical pianists the Cann Twins will be playing at the Royston Catholic Church on Thursday 27 September. The Royston Town Band will be giving a concert in the Priory Memorial Gardens on Sunday 30 September. And the now traditional Last Night of the Proms-style Finale Concert will end this year’s events at the Royston Parish Church on Sunday 30 September.
