Littlemore Oratorio concert and rehearsals

Concert date: June 24th at 3 pm

(To be repeated at Cowley Carnival on the 1st July)

Core group rehearsals will be arranged on an ad hoc basis and in addition the regular Confluence and Marhaba sessions may well be available to trial ideas.

 

There is a series of rehearsals in June for anyone interested in joining in group singing. These will be on Thursday 7th, 14th and 21st of June at 7 o clock in Littlemore church.

The songs are all simple and we are confident that even if you are not a confident singer you will be able to join in with these songs so please pass on details to anyone who may be interested. Singers can join in with any song they are comfortable with. They will be conducted in and out to vary textures as on the recordings but all they will need to do is memorise parts to join in with (as many as they are comfortable with):

Scores and recordings for the group songs are now at:  http://www.littlemorechurch.org/?page_id=2618
