Rehearsals in all the usual places. In-person 6.30-8.30pm; online 7-9pm (links for Tuesday's online rehearsal and Wednesday's streamed one will be sent out nearer the time). Note the extra half hour! All our rehearsals for the rest of term will be two hours long.
This week we'll be finishing off "Noel Nouvelet" and continuing "Festival of Carols". We're aiming to get to the end of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" on this one, so please do your homework with the recordings. I strongly recommend you listen to it a few times before rehearsal. We'll go over any particularly troublesome bits, but expect most of it to go fairly smoothly.
As ever, please come prepared with your own music in whatever form you like it - printed, phone, iPad... We're no longer giving out sheet music, but if you forget there will be a QR code to this week's music on the reception desk. And it would also help if you have a listen to the recordings if they're available.
All our venues have hand sanitiser and we'll keep them as well ventilated as we can. You're very welcome to wear a mask or not as you wish. Please be kind and respect other people's decisions. As ever, please do not attend if you're feeling ill.
