Area Choirs Festival Evensong 2018

Guildford Cathedral, Stag Hill, Guildford GU2 7UP.
Sunday 14th October 2018
2.30 for 3pm start for the rehearsal.  Service at 6.00pm.

Thanks to the generosity of the Dean and the Cathedral Chapter we are delighted to be able to hold our celebration of the new Deans and Bishops Award holders in the cathedral during Choral Evensong.  Both Bishop Andrew and the Dean will be there to present the certificates to ‘their’ new choristers.  To add to the ‘draw’ of the occasion, Katherine Dienes-Williams (Organist and Master of the Choristers, Guildford Cathedral) will conduct, with Richard Moore at the organ.

Advance booking is essential - Please eMail David Oldfield (davidoldfield678@hotmail.co.uk) no later than 13 September to book your place(s). If booking as an individual please advise your voice part, and, if booking for a choir group, the name of the group and number of each voice part attending.  Bookings will be restricted on a first come, first served basis as there are only a finite number of books and, once these run out, no further entries will be possible – so get in quick!  In any case, bookings will not be accepted after 13 September.  Should you need to post the application by Royal Mail, the address is 4 Sunny Bank, Warlingham, Surrey CR6 9SR.	

If you wish to come and sing, it is essential that choirs and individuals arrive on the day itself having learnt the music and, to that end, it is very strongly recommended that they attend one (or more) of the regional rehearsals; these having been arranged at St Martin’s, Epsom (on 11/07/18 at 7.30pm), St Mary’s, Chiddingfold (14/09/18 at 7.30pm), St John’s, W Byfleet (on 15/09/18 at 4.30pm),  and St Peter’s, Frimley (on 20/09/18 at 7.30pm).  They will last a maximum of 1½ hours.

Arrangements will need to be made to pick up copies preferably before the regional rehearsals {contact Ian Church (07860 520686 ianchurch@ntlworld.com) or David Crick (07850 709461)}.
