January 2012 Update
(update 11/01/2012)
A
New Year, a new season and a new repertoire - even a newly slimmed down
conductor! 2011 was a fantastic year for the choir, but
choristers are looking forward to the new challenges of 2012.
Rehearsals started on 3rd January, and trips have been arranged to
Dudley and Ledbury. Our concert season opens with the March 1st
St David's day concert, this year in St Johns Tenby. In the
meantime, choristers are looking forward to the annual choir lunch at
the Giltar on 22nd January. Roy Noble and Elaine will be there:
it promises, as usual, to be a "hywlsome" occasion. Those wishing
to book a choir concert should note that the 2012 programme is now
fully booked, and that for 2013 is filling up rapidly.
St Mary's organ with Dr
John Harrison, St Mary's organist and Director of Music, and
Corey Morris, organ scholar and trumpet soloist for TMC.
Other
news is that the choir has made a donation of £200 to the Organ
Restoration fund of St Mary's church Tenby, and that the church
is planning an extended campaign, including several recitals, to
support the maintainance of this wonderful instrument.
Last,
but most certainly not least: many congratulations to stalwart chorister Bobby
Turnbull, who celebrated his 90th birthday on 20th December 2011. Bobby was
raring to go for the new season, being present at the committee meeting
and rehearsal on 3rd January!
