MARKET HARBOROUGH SINGERS

MEMBERSHIP DETAILS

The Market Harborough Singers welcome new voices in all sections.

Members need a good blending voice and, although sight reading is not a pre-requisite, the ability to pick up quickly and follow a line of music is important. It is not unknown to pick up a new piece of music on a Friday night and perform it to our high standard on the Saturday evening.

Unusually, the basic rehearsal structure involves meeting on a monthly basis for intensive weekend rehearsals in Market Harborough on Friday evening and all day Saturday. Additional rehearsals are occasionally organised as required, possibly in mid week again in Market Harborough.

With this type of format, it is important for potential members to demonstrate a high level of commitment both in attendance of arranged rehearsals and between-rehearsal personal practise.

Musically, we aim to perform as wide a range of repertoire as possible, and have a busy and varied concert programme both in Leicestershire and around the country. We aim to have a short trip outside the UK every two years.

Acceptance as a member of the choir is dependent upon a successful audition at your first rehearsal with either the musical director, David Beavan or his deputy, Rod Iliffe.

If you wish to join us, please contact Tim Blades, our chairman detailed below.
