This Year’s Rehearsals
As with last year’s Festival, we start the Festival Singers’ rehearsals in with a series of 11:00-16:00 Sing Days, the first 2 of which are also open to singers interested in trying out the choir before deciding whether to join for the Festival and singers who want a day of singing Mozart and opera choruses.
So far, we the dates confirmed, but not the venues. We are looking at a few churches in Dorset and aim to rehearse in 2 or 3, making it easier for singers local to each venue to attend and also attract singers from further afield who are happy to travel a bit further for a full day of singing.
The dates are:
Open Sing Day Saturday 19 May
Open Sing Day Sunday 17 June
Sing Day Sunday 1 July
Sing Day Saturday 14 July
Evening Thursday 19 July (+ 45 mins at start for the Chamber Choir)
Evening Thursday 2 August (+ 45 mins at start for the Chamber Choir)
