To present, past and potential members of the Uxbridge Chamber Choir
On behalf of the executive of the Uxbridge Chamber Choir, we hope you are in good health and enjoying the joys of the holiday season.
We are so excited to announce our 2023 spring program, with our first rehearsal on Monday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m.
We are inviting our current and past members, and any potential new members to join us after a very long break.
We will be singing repertoire to reflect the joy we all feel making music together, and we are fortunate that our co-founder, Tom Baker, will be continuing to lead us.
Why not give yourself the gift of music and join us?
Concerts and Repertoire
Join us to sing a favourite of the classical repertoire – Carmina Burana – with it’s rousing and energizing melodies and choruses, full of colour and the wide range of human expression, in a two piano/percussion arrangement, paired with our very own Thomas Baker’s Sweet Paris Suite for choir and accordion.
Both of these works are perfect for the spring season!
Our concert will be in the spring on Monday, May 1st at 7:30pm at St. Paul’s church in Uxbridge.
Rehearsals
Our rehearsals are on Monday evenings from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. beginning on Monday, March 20, 2023 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church.
Membership
We would love to welcome new members, especially TENORS! If you know of someone who would enjoy singing with us, please share this e-mail with them.
We encourage individuals with appropriate choral experience to give our Chamber Choir a try. We work on a very informal audition process where singers join us for a couple of rehearsals to see if there’s a good fit with the choir (payment of the membership fee is only due on deciding to join the choir).
Membership for this session is $100. We hope there will be many returning members from our last season, and past members who want to return to singing with us. We have attached the membership form. If you are planning to join us, please bring the completed form to our first rehearsal.
We encourage others with appropriate choral experience to give our Chamber Choir a try. We work on a very informal audition process where singers join us for a couple of rehearsals to see if there’s a good fit with the choir (payment of the membership fee is only due on deciding to join the choir).
