Saturday 29th November 2pm – 5pm
‘Come and Sing West Gallery Carols’ a ‘taster day’ with
Immanuel’s Ground Quire
£12.50 including a music booklet and light refreshments.
Booking essential, see the posters for online booking details
or contact Ian Meddoms
Don’t be put off if you have never sung with a choir before or a long time ago – it isn’t
essential to read music as the choir teach the parts line by line and there will be quire
members singing beside you giving friendly encouragement and an instrument playing
your line. All you need is to readily pick up a tune and sing out joyfully with everyone
else. It’s a one-off for fun; you won’t be committing to any further involvement. The
carols are meant for community singing and not too difficult to learn; in some Derbyshire
villages they still do it in the pubs, but they originated in church. If you’re not sure if your
voice is soprano, alto, tenor, or bass you can change round until you find a pitch register
you are comfortable with. Everyone will have a booklet of words and nicely laid out
music so, if you are a music reader, you will also be completely at home with these
unique and joyful carols.
And from 7:00 p.m. to about 9:00 p.m. on the same evening in the church: A concert of
seasonal words and music by Immanuel’s Ground Quire.
Included for people who sign
up for the taster day and only £10 if you are just coming to the concert.
Evening ticket proceeds for the church – towards our community hall improvements.
Come and bring your friends to the concert, support our fund raising and welcome the
coming Christmas season. Tickets from Ian & Barbara Meddoms or pay on the door.
Interval tea and coffee and biscuits will be available – collecting basket also for church
funds.
