Dear All
With the future looking a bit brighter now that Covid vaccination has started, and Christmas fast approaching, we thought we’d be in touch again.
For all of us choir members, our orchestral players, and our Friends and families who make up our audiences, this year has been like no other. The wonderful tradition of our Christmas concert has been broken after a run of nearly 30 years! No superb readings, no fun participation as Julian leads the audience in raising the roof, and no glorious carols to elevate our spirits. Of course, this does not mean that Christmas is not happening, but things are certainly going to be a bit different.
In some small way we would like to remind you of Christmases past, and give hope for the future, by sending you this link of the choir performing Julian’s stellar arrangement of Silent Night.
We send you all our very best wishes, and look forward to a safer and healthier 2021 when we can once again share the joy of singing together.
Happy Christmas.
Kate, on behalf of all the Committee
