What’s On

New Melbourn Singers

The New Melbourn Singers are once again performing as part of the Cambridgeshire Choral Society, a choral society which was the idea of the late David Wilcox. It brings together village choirs to perform large choral works with professional soloists and orchestras.

On Saturday 2 April 2016 the Cambridgeshire Choral Society will be singing the Dettingen Te Deum by Handel and the Requiem by Mozart. The performance will be held in the Leys School on Trumpington Road in Cambridge at 7.30 pm. Tickets are available from choir members or on the door. It should be an enjoyable and moving evening of great music. Jane Stevens – 01763 261858

Royston Choral Society

Come and Sing Stainer’s Crucifixion Musical Director Andrew O’Brien Saturday 5th March 12.00 for 12.30 to 5.00pm

Royston Parish Church – Admission £10 The Crucifixion was conceived as a meditation, a work of devotion that would bring, as the dramatised passion tradition had for centuries, the story of Holy Week to ordinary folk. With the spine tingling melodies and Victorian sentiment, the timeless ‘God so loved the world’ and hymns for audience participation it is the perfect piece to spend the day singing, discovering and relishing its beautiful music.

Singers of all abilities welcome, whether members of choral societies, church choirs, community choirs – or no choir. Do you sing along to BBC Songs of Praise or sing in the shower? Come along and take this opportunity to sing with Royston Choral Society’s BBC award winning conductor.

Registration commences 12.00 with singing starting at 12.30: The afternoon ends with a sing through at 4.30 which friends and families are welcome to attend free of charge.

Please book using the booking form available on Royston Choral Society’s website – www.roystonchoralsoc. org.uk or from local libraries and choir members.
