Rehearsals
Spring 2021
Our rehearsals this spring will continue to be online, using YouTube. Simon is hoping to get Dvorak's Stabat Mater on Koor as soon as he can get back to his studios in London. For now do use other online rehearsal aids or listen to a recording:
Summer 2021
We will rehearse Handel's Coronation Anthems online, with a sing through on 5th July (hopefully in the Great Hall or Gardens. This is subject to the easing of restrictions of course - and we'll look at an online option for those not comfortable with attending in person.)
Autumn 2021
We plan to rehearse the Dvorak Stabat Mater in person in the autumn term starting on 6th September 2021, aiming for a performance mid-November. 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!
