Calling all singers…
Didcot Festival Chorus is recruiting singers for its annual autumn concert with the St Birinus School Choir. St Birinus School is 75 years old this year and to celebrate, they are going to perform Carl Orff’’s Carmina Burana. The other works in the concert will follow a Last Night of the Proms theme. As usual, the singers will be accompanied by the Oxford Symphony Orchestra.
The performance is on Saturday 19th November at 7.30pm in Didcot Leisure Centre. There are eight rehearsals for the concert on Wednesday evenings in the Performing Arts Centre at St Birinus School from 8.00 to 9.30 pm, starting on September 7th. If anyone has sung the piece before with the choir they may attend fewer rehearsals if the number of rehearsals dates is a deciding factor. Everyone must attend the rehearsal on the Saturday afternoon of the concert.
