Handel’s Messiah on 14 April 2024
This was a fantastic sell out concert. The soloists, all from the Royal Academy of Music, were breathtaking. They they had such beautiful voices and were so enthusiastic that you could mot fail to be moved by their singing. The small orchestra which included a very large harpsichord played superbly and though we say it ourselves – the choir sang very very well. We sang with conviction and pure enjoyment and the audience had a wonderful night of top class music.
And when the Allelujah Chorus came, the audience stood and the choir took aim and lifted the roof off St Peter’s. It was something to behold and hear. We finished the evening with the beautifully gentle aria, Worthy is the Lamb. Glorious is not the word for this work and for the evening.
Come and Sing Handel’s Messiah
If you are looking for the Come and Sing on August 17th 2024 then please click here.
We are having an open rehearsal on Monday 8th January at 7:30 when we will be singing Handel’s Messiah.
If you are interested in singing and maybe thinking of joining a choir please do come and try it out.
Handel’s Messiah is a GREAT work to get your teeth and your vocal chords into and we are a lovely friendly choir to sing with.
So do come to our open rehearsal at Friars Hall, Hive Community Hub (aka the church hall attached to the old URC church) in School Street, Sudbury CO10 2HA.
Our Come and Sing rehearsals are specially set up to make sure new people coming get an extra special welcome – we make sure you have a “buddy” so if you have any questions there is someone next to you to ask. We also have a break half way through for refreshments and to have a good ole natter and chat plus any important announcements for the choir. The rehearsals are at the Hive Community Hub in School Street, Sudbury CO10 2HA. Which in old money is the church hall attached to the old United Reform Church at the top of School Street.
Can’t read music – not everyone in the choir can read music, its easier if you can but its not an absolute requirement. If you want to be able to read music, even if its just to know when to start singing and when to stop we are happy to help you with this.
The Messiah – our next concert – we will be singing this fantastic work in our next concert on Sunday April 14. We will have some great young soloists from the London music schools coming up to sing with us (its worth joining the choir just to sing with them) and we will have a fantastically good orchestra courtesy of our conductor. What is not to like?
Singing is really good for you – you owe it to yourself to come and sing. It makes you feel better, it helps your lungs function better, it helps anxiety, improves memory, builds a sense of community, it lets you express yourself, it can help pain relief, it boosts confidence. Don’t believe us, check it out here.
