This weekend, we completed the recording of all the Composeher repertoire with The GSA Choir. I am sure it will be amazing and, as soon as it is mixed and produced, a copy will be winging its way to Petroc Trelawny and BBC Radio 3!

Another Tuesday, which must mean another rehearsal...

Very excited to be starting a new work this evening; 'Sous Bois', by Lili Boulanger. We'll be performing it at our Summer concert in June (more on that soon) and can't wait to hear 120 people singing it this evening!

Reader, there are more than 10 out there, but this is still a good starting point! 🎶 ♀️

Thank you SO much to everyone who came along to our open rehearsal last night: we had over 140 singers in the room and it was wonderful to hear!

If you missed out last night but still want to join the The GSA Choir, you can come along another time; contact us via our website!

As we approach our open rehearsal next week we thought we'd share what some of our members have to say about singing with the choir. We'll be adding more videos to this thread over the next few days and if you'd like to join us, you can find out more here: gsachoir.com/events/open-re…

Looking forward to welcoming singers to our open rehearsal later! Doors open at 6.30 at St. Andrew’s West Parish Church (part of Renfield Centre) on corner of Bath St and Holland St. Postcode is G2 4JP.

We will provide music but suggest you bring a pencil and bottle of water.

Just over a week until our open rehearsal and we’re so looking forward to welcoming lots of new singers!

Doors open at 6.30, rehearsal 7.00-9.00. We will provide printed sheet music but suggest you bring a pencil and bottle of water. 🎶

At the turn of the year, with grief and turbulence still in the world, I wish people peace, courage and the chance to find happy moments, where they may be in 2024. Here is my piece, 'Prayer', sung by The Dunedin Consort. May it bring peace and solace. open.spotify.com/track/4OsUUJ7c…
