Great memories of this show for @BuxtonFestival last year! I was due to return this year but everything stopped as we all know! I’m looking forward to next year!

We had a wonderful online concert last night with our members and their friends! It was fantastic to have some of our patrons join us, including the ceremonial mayor of Salford! Coming up in September, Mozart’s Requiem! #mozart #requiem #choral #salford #singing #manchester

During our lockdown rehearsals we came across this wonderful and uplifting piece by Sarah Quartel. We were lucky enough to have her join us for a Q&A at one of our rehearsals too!

Today should have been our Summer Concert with St. Joseph’s Primary School Choir

But we’ve been singing from our homes since March. In these changed times we’ve really enjoyed our online rehearsals and to mark the end of our season we’re having an informal sing-through online.

[Tom Newall Conductor @TomNewallMusic]

2/2 We have now had 15 online rehearsals working through the repertoire from our Summer Concert and tonight we’re ending our season with an informal sing-through online.

Here are some photos from my conductors ‘podium’! #singing #conductor #choral #classical #salford

So today should have been the final concert of the season with @SalfordChoral

But we were locked down just days before our performance of Elijah in March. One thing was clear - we had to keep singing come what may! 1/2

Proud to have signed this open letter to @OliverDowden today. The UK has arguably the most vibrant and high-quality non-professional music scene in the world and it cannot be forgotten now! https://t.co/BZmCJscLXh #SaveTheArts

Our community choir have been very busy during lockdown!

They have continued to meet every Friday and sing online and have made this video!

If you feel able to make a donation to help us keep this choir going in these uncertain times, we’d be very grateful! #community #choir

[Tom Newall Conductor @TomNewallMusic]

I’m so proud of the work of the @PiccadillySO community choir based in North Manchester and their fantastic conductors @TDHopkinson and @RachelASoprano It’s so important that we keep singing through these challenging times! #singing #community #northmanchester #harpurhey

We had a fantastic Q&A at last night’s rehearsal with our wonderful accompanist Roderick Barrand!

Roddy has played with the choir since 1983 and recounted many tales of the many pieces he has played with us both in rehearsal and performance! #accompanist #piano #pianist

[Making Music UK @MakingMusic_UK]

We had a fantastic rehearsal last night with a Q&A with composer Sarah Quartel! We’ve been working on her piece ‘Wide Open Spaces’ alongside lots of other folksong-inspired repertoire during our lockdown rehearsals!

[SalfordChoralSociety @SalfordChoral]

We’re delighted to be welcoming composer Sarah Quartel to our rehearsal to talk about her work! We have been singing ‘Wide Open Spaces’ during lockdown.

Sarah will be joining us from Canada - one of the advantages of this technology we have come to rely on during these times!

[PSO @PiccadillySO]

Our community choir are enjoying their weekly rehearsals and this week are having sectional rehearsals. They are also making their own video which will be released soon!

Our new website is now live! Many Thanks to one of our basses, Stuart for creating it for us!

Planning ahead is so hard at the moment, but we will continue to sing our music online until we are back in the rehearsal room!
