Don’t know if anyone else is riding the Clubhouse wave yet but I am hosting an event on Wednesday for choir leaders / singers to drop in & share ideas and experiences; particularly at this time of everything being virtual.

I bloody love taking choir practices IN PERSON. Those little looks when there’s a particular juicy bit of harmony; the sense of cohesion that comes from breathing as one; the delightful moment when everyone erupts into giggles at the slightest innuendo. My heart is so full.

Another fabulous rehearsal this evening with a mix of people with me in person and on Zoom and another successful demonstration that choirs do more than just “mingle” ... #YesTeam #GoodForTheSoul #BuryStEdmunds #Community #Choir #KeepSinging

[VOCA Choir @BSEChoir]

So good to see some happy singers in person and on Zoom this evening ... it’s great to be back (in a COVID-secure space, with appropriate social distancing and with NO mingling at all) ... well done team!

@Jochurchill4 Hi Jo, urgently seeking guidance for amateur choirs. We have a COVID-secure venue, adhere to social distancing rules, don’t meet to “mingle”, we’re there to sing!
Can you confirm that no laws will be broken if we meet in BSE and abide by our strict risk assessment?

We’re thrilled that we can get back to singing on Thursday.
It’ll be a fun combination of “in person” and “zoom” but it will be great to sing in harmony for the first time in months.
See you there ...

We had such a fab “fake” concert last night.
It’ll never be the same as the real thing but it was great fun to get our music in concert order and sing through our rep!
Plus, we got a glorious standing ovation ;)

@Alison_K86 So great that you could join us :)

[Alison Heather @Alison_K86]

Lockdown and coronavirus have a lot to answer for but to be able to carry on singing with @BSEChoir via zoom has been amazing. Being able to take part in tonight’s online concert, even though I’m over the other side of the country was brilliant. #singing #choir
