SPECIAL EVENT - Songs from the Middle East |
Do you want to sing again?Are you tentative because you’ve not sung for years? Or are you looking for more variety in your singing?Well, we're a friendly and supportive choir who would love you to come and sing with us. Cat’s Chorus is a small group of amateur singers who meet every Monday between 18:15 and 19:45 in Crowmarsh, near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Most of us have come back to singing after a break many years so you will be in good company! Some of our singers belong to other, larger choirs and like the challenge of singing with fewer people. For others this is the only singing they do all week, perhaps with the exception of singing in the shower or in the car! We’re looking for enthusiastic people of any singing ability to help us grow the group to a full compliment of 20 members. You don't need to be trained, or to be able to read music, just have a love for singing and want to give it a go. The choir is honoured to be conducted by Wallingford based professional mezzo-soprano Elinor Carter. Elinor is passionate, fun, patient and inspiring. No matter what your standard when you join us, we're sure that by singing with us you will improve your voice, technique, knowledge and enthusiasm for singing. Click here to read more about Elinor Carter. The choir is unique in the area in that we sing songs in 4 part harmonies and unaccompanied (a capella). This type of singing can be challenging, but that's why we love it! We mostly write our own arrangements in a variety of popular styles including Jazz, Latin, Blues and Folk. We have performed in Oxford, Benson, Nettlebed (nr Henley-on-Thames), Didcot & Wallingford and are actively seeking opportunities to perform in the South Oxfordshire area. If you are a female singer who can sing Soprano, Mezzo Soprano or Alto or a male singer who can sing Baritone, then come along and try us out. And, if you’re not sure where you fit in, come along anyway and we’ll soon let you know! Our singers come from all over Oxfordshire: Oxford, Wallingford, Crowmarsh, Benson, Henley, Abingdon & Didcot. If you're tempted, come and sing for FREE! (members pay a monthly subscription to cover our costs) For more details contact Cat Young on 01491 824368 or email info@catschorus.co.uk. For
