Singing is good for you – and fun with Thame Choral Choral Society

FOLLOWING their successful Christmas concert in which the main work was the opening three parts of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, Thame Choral Society is moving forward in time for their next concert from the Baroque to the Classical and Romantic periods, with performances of Beethoven’s Mass in C Major and Mendelssohn’s anthem Hear My Prayer, which includes the well-known soprano aria O for the Wings of a Dove.

Also included in the programme will be a performance of one of Mozart’s concertos for piano and orchestra. The concert will be at St Mary’s Church in Thame, on May 7,  and rehearsals are held every Wednesday evening from 7.30pm until 9.30pm at the Methodist Church, High Street, Haddenham starting on January 6.

Thame Choral Society, founded in 1960, is a friendly, non-audition group of singers who enjoy the social and musical delights of making beautiful music together. Singers of all ranges are always welcome at rehearsals and the ability to sight-read music is not a requirement. As Director and professional singer, TCC’s Musical Diretor, Helen Swift, believes that singing should be fun and in leading the group to explore the musical repertoire and develop latent singing abilities, she makes certain that it is! So, why not go along to one of TCC’s rehearsals: you’ll be glad you did.
