An update on the Crowthorne Carnival Flower Show, of 13 July, where CCS member Sally Ballard created a beautiful entry representing the Tropical RainForest. The event collected a very respectable amount of just under £2,500 for their chosen charity of Crowthorne First Responders. Well done to all who took part in the show,
Tickets are now available below for our next event - a Come and Sing workshop, on 26th September, in the Old Gym at Wellington College. This is a full day workshop, open to all singers, where we will be singing Elgar's the Music Makers and it is an opportunity to explore this fascinating work whilst developing your choral and singing techniques.
This work is Elgar's setting of the Poem 'Ode' by Arthur O'Shaughnessy, which celebrates the dreaming artist. It was dedicated to his friend Nicholas Kilburn, who was a major influence and supporter of Elgar's career. The Music Makers contains snatches from Elgar's earlier works, including the Dream of Gerontius, Sea Pictures and the Enigma Variations and so is almost a musical autobiography of his life.
If you have always wanted to join a choir but are undecided then take a chance and join us for the day and enjoy working with these beautiful piece. We would love to meet you and are always happy to welcome new members.
Refreshments are included in the ticket price of £20 but please bring a packed lunch. Music hire is separately available for the day at £2.50.
Please put 10EBT into the Promotional code box & hit Apply to receive the 10% 'early bird' discount on the workshop tickets purchased by 31st August. We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.
Finally please note that weekly rehearsals start again on September 7th, for our Autumn concert, which will be held in the GWA at Wellington College on 13th November,
If you would like to try out choral singing then do please come along to one of our free Taster sessions. All the available dates are shown on our Event Calendar, from which bookings can be made. Further details can be found by clicking on the Taster Sessions link below.
