Such a joy to be back looking at this window when conducting @WarehamChoral! I was off last term thanks to shingles so even greater pleasure. What's on the menu? Britten "ceremony of carols" SATB version - haven't lost the tenors & basses although more always welcome!

Our MD (having been ill) was in the audience for our D-Day Remembrance concert on Saturday night. She sneaked this photo during the national anthem! A very moving concert with so many local people taking part. Thank you all for coming too - a full house!

This saturday! I'm so disappointed not to be conducting @WarehamChoral (due to shingles slow recovery). A real community event, varied & eclectic programme. @JWHallBaritone's "for the fallen", Dambusters, Vera Lynn songs, Armed man, Nimrod,..

Fabulous performance of "The Crucifixion" composed by Stainer on Saturday. @WarehamChoral, soloists, & organist really got "behind the words" of this music & although an exhausting time for me, absolutely appropriate to sing this the day before Palm Sunday. Thank you all!

[Hazel Ricketts @rickettspiano]

Last night's "Celebration of Christmas" by @WarehamChoral was great fun and informal. Christmas jumpers were the order of the day! Such a fascinating church too - St John the Baptist, Bere Regis.

Proof reading @WarehamChoral's concert programme on my laptop with my lap suddenly full of "helpful" kittens!

Exciting news! We have two places available in our Girls' Choir for girls in Years 3 - 8. You don't need to have previous singing experience, as long as you enjoy music and think singing in a choir might be for you.

Thinking of joining a choir after the summer? We restart our rehearsals on Monday 11th September, 7.30pm, Lady St Mary church. Please come along!

In the meantime we will try to keep sharing musical events of potential interest when possible!

[WarehamChoral @WarehamChoral]

If you're not rehearsing with us on Mondays this would be a good concert to get to! @johnorganist having been a soloist for us in the past.

[musicatstpeters @musicatstpeter]

We celebrate 200 years since the installation of an organ on Mon 9 Oct! To celebrate, the amazing @johnorganist will be giving a recital - live images of john in action will be screened and viewable from all seats by @redshark_tv. Tickets are now on sale: https://t.co/o9Jkp86M8C
