Great Missenden
Choral Society is a friendly, welcoming and sociable Society It maintains high standards of performance
and aims to provide enjoyable and challenging programmes for both choral members
and audience alike, giving high class performances of good contemporary
pieces and earlier neglected works, as well as established masterpieces GMCS rehearses at the Oldham Hall, which is
between the High Street and the Parish Church of St Peter and Moderate
sight-reading is an advantage but not demanded. New applicants for Choir membership are
asked to undergo a short, informal audition with the Music Director and the
Choir’s Accompanist within a few weeks of arrival. Members are expected to give commitment to
regular attendance, unless prevented by business or illness, to arrive
punctually and to be prepared to help with the minor tasks which keep the
Society functioning smoothly.
Subscriptions are payable for each term, in September and January. The
current rates are £52.00 per term with £5.00 discount for payment within the
first 3 weeks. There is a reduction
for students. Details of concerts can be found on the News and Events page. GMCS has a
considerable library of music, accumulated over the years; details are on the
Lending Library page. Scores are
available through the NMFS web-site, http://www.makingmusic.org.uk or by contacting the
Librarian – see the Contact us page.
GMCS has also
invested in some modular staging, made up of frames and decks which can be
formed into a flat area or tiers as required.
This is available for hire; contact the Treasurer. We are always
looking for new members for this friendly choral society (particularly
sopranos, tenors and basses) and if you are interested in joining please
contact the Secretary Tony Overton on 01494 863581. |
