Come and Sing Your Heart Out

This year as part of the McLellan Arts Festival, some Arran singers will be joining the wonderful young opera students from the Royal Northern College Manchester in a joyous oratorio – Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle. And we need more Arran singers!

For the last 5 years a community choir from Arran, which has been named the McLellan Festival Chorus, has sung with the students from Peter Wilson’s Summer School. Those of us who have done it have loved it and there is no need to be nervous if you have not done it before or don’t know the Rossini – it is all made possible somehow and the results are amazing. Singing with the students and being conducted by Alec Crowe make you feel like a professional!

All are welcome to take part. There will be 4 rehearsals before the event ( Saturday 20th August from 2-4pm, Thursday 25th August from 7.30 – 9.30 pm both in Lamlash Church Hall and then Tuesday 30th August and Thursday 1st September from 7.30 – 9.30 at Altachorvie, Lamlash) with a dress rehearsal on Sunday morning before the performance.

Scores can be obtained from Margaret Wright (01770 700384) and you can swot your part by going to www.cyberbass.com

Please join us and have the sing of your life.
