Come & Sing! with RSCM Voices South
Come and Sing! with RSCM Voices South at St John's Burgess Hill
Come and Sing! with RSCM Voices South and Hilary Punnett, recently appointed Assistant Director of Music at St Paul's Cathedral.
This is a fun, friendly, and open event for singers to prepare and learn music for a service of Choral Evensong under professional directorship and the accompaniment of a superbly restored organ. No prior knowledge of the repertoire is required, and scores will be available for all singers to borrow for the day.
All singers, members and non-members of the RSCM, are warmly invited to attend. Singers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult at all times. St John's has full range of accessible toilet and changing facilities available, and is within walking distance of several cafes, shops, and the Burgess Hill railway station.
Rehearsals will commence at 11am, followed by a lunch break at 12:30. Returning at 14:00, singers will continue rehearsing through to a refreshment break at 15:15. Singers can bring their own choir robes if they wish, and will have plenty of time and space to get robed before Choral Evensong at 16:00 – with the service concluding by 17:00.
Repertoire:
Preces and Responses: Joanna Forbes L'Estrange
Psalm 65
Canticles: Stanford in Bb
Anthem: They that go down to the sea in ships – Herbert Sumsion
Scores provided on loan for the day are included in the event fee.
