We have been fortunate to have our three conductors offering to lead the group again this year. A big thank you to Faith Hicks, Brian Greed and Margaret Merriman for their preparation before the group meets each week in choosing songs, and then giving a list of what they want the group to sing to our pianist Gwen Barnes. Our thanks also to Gwen for her continued valued assistance on the piano.
We would also like to thank Gwen who over the holidays increased the size of the cover to fit the piano which was purchased eighteen months ago.
Due to illness Faith Hicks was unable to attend our last two sessions for February. In the last Singing for Fun session we welcomed Kieran Smith as a conductor to the group. Kieran was the soloist at our performances last year and brings a great deal of singing experience to our choir. We hope that he will be able to assist again in the future if needed.
On the fourth Thursday of each month this year we are having a Community Singing session starting at 10am organised by Brian Greed. Brian ran three very successful Community Singing sessions during January, and we thank him for offering to continue these relaxed sessions once a month during 2020.
Looking forward to seeing you all at 9.30am in the Main Auditorium for the first three Thursdays of the month.
