Rehearsals
We rehearse every
Wednesday evening
from 7:30 to 9:30 in the Song
School of St Mary's Cathedral, Palmerston Place, surrounded
by
the murals painted by Phoebe Traquair between 1888 and 1892.
We occasionally have 'away-days'
when we might rehearse for forthcoming concerts in more relaxed mode, learn and sing
other music just for fun, have voice coaching and generally get to know
one
another better as a group.
We have been to Melrose twice in succession, in 2002 and 2003, one
occasion ending with a rendition of "Weep O mine eyes" by
John
Bennet (1570-1610) accompanied by the Squair
Mile Consort of Viols and, in 2003, with professional singer and coach
Carmel Carroll teaching
us vocal technique.
We constantly strive to improve and develop as a group and our training
and development days are an important part of our itinerary. Plans for
our 2008 season include a concert featuring Haydn's 'Maria Teresa' Mass
and Handel's 'Zadok' on Saturday, 7th June in St Mary's Cathedral.
