Harleston Choral Society returned from our Easter break 28 April, and we’re now on countdown for the final few weeks of rehearsals for our Summer Concert on Saturday 28 June in Harleston Sancroft Academy. We’ll be singing Carl Orff Carmina Burana with professional soloists and orchestra, and the school’s choir. This will be the highlight of our 25th anniversary year, celebrating 25 years of wonderful music. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings, 7.30 – 9.30 pm, in The London Road Church (formerly The Harleston Methodist Church) at London Road, Harleston, IP20 9BH. Parking is available in The Original Factory Shop (TOFS) car park opposite on London Road, Harleston, IP20 9BZ.
Another ‘can’t miss’ date for your diaries: a ‘Come and Sing Messiah’ Workshop on Saturday 16 August, in St James Village Hall IP19 0HP, open to all. And to round off the year, our Christmas concert on Saturday 6 December, back in St John’s Church. Throughout the year we’ll also be setting up display panels in various locations, showing HCS’s history, the many people who’ve been involved with the choir over the years, and choir members’ memories. We would normally direct you to our website www.harlestonchoralsoc.org.uk at this point, but currently the website is down. We hope to have it up and running before too long but in the meantime if you would like any information about HCS, please contact our joint Chair, Caroline Rodbourne at caroline@rodbourne.org.uk Or follow Harleston Choral Society on Facebook.
