Choir News
The choir is at present recruiting members and particularly seeks tenors. If you are interested please contact Peter Lewis on 02476 543804 or Steve Oliver on 02476 540288. The choir will meet on Thursdays (except for the last Thursday in the month ) in All Saint’s Church from 7.30 until 9.30 p.m.
Background to the Chamber Choir
The choir was formed in 1988 when Rosemary E. Mailey a local musician and lecturer agreed to take over the Church Choir and the first concert was performed that summer. Stretton Chamber Choir grew from the original church choir and concerts now take place, on average, twice a year.
Works performed included Rossini’s Stabat Mater, Schubert’s Mass in G, Poulenc’s Gloria, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Walton’s Te Deum, Elgar’s, The Music Makers in addition to a host of lighter offerings at the Christmas Concerts.
Sadly Rosemary’s health caused her to resign as Musical Director and for the past year the choir has been in recess but from September 2007 Brian Sunderland, an experienced and talented musician, has agreed to take over and the choir looks forward to new challenges under his direction.
