Dear Supporter,
Despite sometimes wishing that time would slow down, Christmas is fast approaching and with it the date of our Christmas Concert on Saturday 14th December at St Stephen's Church, Harlow CM18 6QR. Please note the early start time of 6.00pm. There will be carols for both choir and audience so bring your voices while the Chorus will also sing some excerpts from Vivaldi's joyful Gloria. We are delighted to welcome back the legendary Henry Moore Primary School Choir who will no doubt, as always, steal the show. Tickets @£12, under 18s Free, are available online at www.ticket source.co.uk/harlowchorus and from our box office on 01277 362440 or email tickets@harlowchorus.org.uk
This, sadly, will be Dr Edward-Rhys Harry's last concert with us as he has just been appointed as Development Manager for the charity Military Wives Choirs, around 2000 singers in 70 choirs across the UK and internationally. We wish him well in this endeavour and thank him for his leadership over the last seven years, including steering us through those pandemic months when many choirs just folded. In January we welcome back Dr Sarah Tenant-Flowers who many of you will remember from her previous time as our Musical Director. Sarah's first concert with us will be Handel's wonderful dramatic oratorio Judas Maccabaeus on Saturday 26th April 2025.
Before that concert there will be another Chorus Quiz to help you beat the winter blues, on Friday 17th January, start time 7.00pm, at the St John's ARC OLd Harlow CM17 6QR. Tickets @£15 include a delicious 2-course supper and beer, wine and soft drinks will be available from the bar. Tables are for a maximum of eight people, or just come along, be introduced to other tables and make new friends. To book please contact Rosemary Davis at chair@harlowchorus.org.uk
With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year,
Val Brockbank on behalf of Harlow Chorus
