Fauré Summer School After many years, I am resurrecting, albeit briefly, the once traditional Summer School. The intention is to offer some 'note bashing' for November's Fauré Requiem. The evenings will take place only on three Tuesdays: 30th July, 20th and 27th August. We'll be in the church downstairs with the piano, just from 8 to 9.15pm each time. They are purely voluntary, but I very much hope many of you will wish to take advantage of them. It will ease your load and mine in the run-up to the performance! Please note in your diaries and on your calendars and try and your utmost to attend. 'The Board' is currently going round on Tuesdays! Christmas Such is the life of those who run our Choir........ the music for the Christmas Concert has been put into writing, albeit as a draft. The music for Midnight Mass and Epiphany will follow shortly. Bernard is busy arranging things for the wind group from the Orchestra that will be joining us. No peace for the wicked............ (that's me, not Bernard!). PLEASE NOTE that the Christmas Concert will start at 2.30pm not 3pm this year. Sometime I must think about what happens at other times next term!

Farewells
As you will all now know, Archbishop Peter has has agreed with
Father Tom that he should have a 'sabbatical', following which he
may be appointed to another parish as yet unknown. He leaves us week
commencing 17th June to travel to Rome. |
Outing to Finchcocks Musical Museum 9th June

(promptly!) Depart from Green Lane near Hermitage Lane This month's quiz question An easy one this time. In
what year did the parish raise over £15,000 to enlarge and refurbish
the organ. Please remember in your prayers... Maria, Jan's sister, Anne M. Mary E. & Frank and Jo in your prayers. I know such prayers are very much appreciated indeed. |
You have talent
We have been very fortunate in the recent year or so in welcoming a
number of people into our midst that have proved very loyal and
wonderful singers. Please do make use of the little 'YOU
HAVE A TALENT' cards I had produced recently, both within the
parish and beyond. The future of our Choir depends on a reliable
turnover of members, and the responsibility for that cannot rest on
my shoulders alone. Somewhere....... .. along the way between now and Christmas we are likely to be asked to sing at the induction of Father Peter as Parish Priest..... just a thought! And finally....... I have been called up for Jury Service for a couple of weeks from now. Too many years of saying I've never been called has finally caught up with me! Please bear this in mind if I do not return emails, texts or 'phone calls as swiftly as is generally the case. |
