Happy New Year!

Our first rehearsal of the new year will be on Thursday 8th January at Nayland school hall from 8 – 10 pm. We look forward to welcoming back our regular singers and anyone new who wishes to join us.

Although the back door will be open as usual, the front door of the school will also be open from 7.50 – 8.00 to help people avoid the dark car park and path.

This term’s music for our next concert on Sunday 29th March in St. James’ Church, will be Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, Vivaldi’s Credo and Haydn’s Missa Brevis, and we will be accompanied once again by a group of musicians.

Happy Christmas

Thank you to those of you who came to our most recent concert on 7th December; we hope you enjoyed our mix of winter and Christmas music.

Our next concert will be on Sunday 29th March, featuring Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, Vivaldi’s Credo and Haydn’s Missa Brevis. If you would like to join us, do come along to our next rehearsal at Nayland Primary School on Thursday 8th January at 8pm or email naylandchoir@gmail.com .

Autumn 2024: Winter Solstice Concert

This term we’re working towards a concert on December 15th in Nayland Village Hall with a solstice theme – music from across four centuries to take us from darkness to light. We’ll sing another work by Sarah Quartel, whose music we have been enjoying exploring over the last year, alongside some choral classics by Barber, Lauridsen and Tallis – music that by turn evokes stillness or wakening!

Rehearsals start again on Thursday, September 12th at Nayland Primary School.

Everyone is welcome whether you’re new to singing in parts or an experienced singer – do come and try us out!

Shakespeare in Song

If music be the food of love, play on.

We continue our 30th anniversary celebrations with a programme of music inspired by Shakespeare – varying from jazzy settings of Shakespeare’s Sonnets by George Shearing, classical settings of songs from his plays, and familiar tunes from two re-tellings of Shakespeare plays: Kiss Me Kate and West Side Story. As has become our tradition, the summer concert will follow a well-tried recipe: Music, Food and Wine!

Rehearsals start Thursday 25th April, 8pm in Nayland School Hall. Everyone is welcome whether you’re new to singing in parts or an experienced singer – do come and try us out!

The concert will be performed on Friday 5th July.
