Building Better choirs programme |
|
|
Following up on the first of our Big Conversations with you, the membership services team are developing a «Building Better Choirs» programme; with the help of a number of volunteer facilitators we plan to roll out these services during the rest of 2021 and on into 2022. The group led by board member Misza Czerniak coordinated a meeting with facilitators to develop ideas and priorities. Two key areas were identified «Returning to Rehearsals» and «Developing a concert, Choosing Repertoire». Round table discussions are being scheduled for phase 1 this year: «Returning to Rehearsals» with phase 2 next year «Developing a concert, Choosing Repertoire». If you would like to be involved drop Misha a note as spaces will be limited, to allow your voice to be heard. Dates and more details to follow. | | |

RSC - Rainbow Music Project Video has been published on Youtube. As we announced in our newsletter in April 2021 to take part in a project from the RSC (Rainbow Symphony Cologne). Even so, it was a non choir project, many of the participants are singing in a choir too. The video has been published during the pride week of Cologne. Have fun watching it! |
