Hi All

It may have to be two weeks later this year as Santa may have to isolate for 14 days due to travelling the world. 🎄 🎅🏼 🌍 
Well our last social zoom call this week, not quite sure what will be going on yet but it will be different!  We may get Roy telling us one of his poems or ditties, he doesn’t know it yet!!!  
Thanks Eric for keeping us in touch through our summer break and those people that contributed to quizzes and games and those that joined in.

Dear UK Choral Colleagues,

Would you kindly share the following choir project with your singers? Please place *unsubscribe* in the subject line if you would rather not have received this email. 

I hope you and your choirs are looking forward to the term ahead. May I mention a little additional project, The Global Singing Project, where we are hosting thirty open choir rehearsals every Wednesday and Friday at 5.30pm London time all online, using Zoom. From Bohemian Rhapsody to Bruckner, from Phantom to Fauré these sessions cover a hugely diverse repertoire. As if the music wasn’t enough, if you book a gold session pass before September 4th you will receive a free £50 John Lewis e-voucher. All info can be found here: The Global Singing Project. 

With very kindest wishes, 

Ben Lewis-Smith

Hi Lin

 

Here’s another Royal Albert Hall link for anyone interested.  Free music on demand at any time is available in the section called

“Albert Home on Demand”.  It looks very interesting and has an eclectic mix of music and performers.  It also covers the 2020 Proms, such as it is.

Hi All

Just one birthday this week, it is Gilly Jefferey on Friday.  Gilly is an Alto and I believe she joined the choir in 2005 when Marian joined as Musical Director.

Hope you have a lovely day Gilly, and that Jeff has some nice treats in store for you.
Bank Holiday Week End for all of the non workers like me who have no idea what the date is.  Hope you all have a good time. 

There is a lot of talk about choirs returning to rehearsals.  We are looking into this and we will keep you informed if there is any move forward on it.

This weeks zoom call is going to be a multiple choice quiz by Jerry.  I have a one in three chance of getting it right!  If time we will have some break out rooms.  Thanks Jerry.  Hope you come along for a catch up.

Hi Everyone

We have a birthday this week. Tony Jardine our new Music Librarian’s birthday is on Friday 21st August. Thanks for standing under the “Photos” sign it made it easier for me to find. 😆


A lovely photograph of Hilary and Tony.  Hope you go somewhere ‘posh’ for your birthday and can get dressed up for it.  Shame it’s Friday you could have had the Meal Deal is Monday to Wednesday!

Not a lot to report at the moment, I hope people have been enjoying the lovely weather and have been able to get away if they wanted to.  Nice drop of rain ☔️ for the gardens 🌹 , it can stop now!!!

This weeks Zoom call will be a game of ‘Catch Phrase’ and maybe a chat in break out rooms.  Thanks Eric for organising this again whilst Chris is having a lovely time in Cornwall.

Hi All

Hope everyone is good.  Although this is my 22nd weekly email I have sent you 80 emails since we have not been to choir.  How many people read them all?? Ok no one – not even me.  But if you want to they are all on the members page of the website under Lin’s Emails.

No birthdays this week.  

Well done everyone who joined in with the virtual choir and thank you Lillian and Chris for making it possible for us to do.  We are now worldwide (probably!).  It is on YouTube and has had 135 views so far.  It has also been posted on our Facebook page and has 21 shares that I know of, people could have been sharing the people that had shared it and then they could have shared it etc etc.  

If you go to our webpage it is posted on the front page. My Chris has been updating things so check it out – my emails, Lillians tutorials, and there is also a great  warm up routine (with helpers), and members photos (The Choir/Photos/Members Parade). In this we are a few missing and some are verrrry old so if you would like to send in a updated photograph we can change them to one you may like.

I think I have mentioned that we will not be doing “Music of The Night” as Lillian thinks it will be too tricky with the timings etc. But we are hoping that we may be able to do “You Raise Me Up”, which was chosen as our favourite song.  If we do go ahead and you would like help in submitting a video, and as some people have done it, I am sure that they would be only too happy to have a chat and see if they can help.  My own experience was that it was very weird singing with the backing track in your ear and then, when you listened to it, there was no backing track, just you singing. Somehow Lillian managed to put it all together even with the key change and difficult timings.

We are carrying on with Zoom calls on Thursday nights even though we are officially on holiday.  As Chris is going away Eric has very kindly offered the use of his zoom account so that we can carry on.  It will be the same Link and Password each week.  

He has booked them through till Christmas – 20 weeks away – obviously if anything changes and we can go back we will let you know.  

This week Beryl has done a quiz so have paper and pens at the ready and we will probably have a chat in breakout rooms.

Hope to see you all tomorrow.

Eric Gerrey is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Hi All

Here is the link for our first try as a virtual choir., sent by Lillian today  If you are not on the zoom call tonight you will have missed its first appearance. 

Before we can make it public we will have to have permission from the performers. Could you please confirm that they are happy for it to go public.

Well done to everyone who participated in this new venture.
