Rehearsals
Autumn 2021
We plan to rehearse the Dvorak Stabat Mater in person in the autumn term starting on 6th September 2021, with a concert on 14th November (see rehearsal dates below). This leaves us time to rehearse Carols for the Rowcroft Service at Buckfast Abbey on 12th December 2021 and a Dartington Christmas Cracker on 13th December 2021.
2022
Spring term 2022 will be spent preparing Handel's Messiah for a performance just after Easter. We are, of course, making plans for our 40th anniversary season and will be in touch as we get confirmation of arrangements! We intend to round off our anniversary season in the summer of 2022 with a celebratory party!
