Christmas cheer!

Birmingham Festival Choral Society’s annual Christmas charity carol concert was held at Ladywood ARC last Saturday. The weather was bitter outside, but the atmosphere inside the church was warm and welcoming. 

The concert started with a welcome:  ‘Wolcom  Yule’, from Britten’s Ceremony of Carols, arranged for higher voices:

The concert ended with festive refreshments- mince pies and mulled wine – and a chance to chat to our guests and put some money in the collecting buckets for BID services.

Come to our Open Rehearsal!

Do you, or someone you know, fancy joining a choir – but aren’t quite sure? Why not come along to our Open Rehearsal on Wednesday 5th September? We’re a friendly group of men and women of all ages, united by a love of singing.

Come along to Lordswood Girls School  at 7pm to have time to be welcomed, and introduced to someone in your voice part who will help guide you through the rehearsal. We’ll have a break for refreshments and socialising half way through. The rehearsal finishes at 9.30pm.

Click here for more information about joining our choir. We’d be grateful if you would pass this information on to anyone you think might be interested in our Open Rehearsal.

This is the concert we’ll be working towards this term. The music promises to be inspiring and moving, as we think about the ending of the first World War 100 years ago.
