CHOIR NOTES

 

Congratulations to Philippa

During the summer the results of Philippa Neal’s RSCM Gold Award Examination were received....and what hugely impressive results they were! The Gold Award is the highest level choristers (and sometimes choir trainers) can achieve, and Philippa received a distinction with a mark of 139/150. For the singing performances she scored 76/78 marks with full marks being awarded or psalm singing and anthems.

  The examiner described Philippa’s performance as ‘superb’ and recommended that she applies for a place in the RSCM Millennium Youth Choir.

  We are, indeed, very lucky to have her as a member of our choir.

  Looking Ahead....

Plans are currently being made for a Choir/Orchestra Concert to be held on Saturday 8 January 2011. The concert will include Bach’s Ascension Oratorio (Cantata 11) and Handel’s Coronation Anthem: ‘The King shall Rejoice’. Three trumpeters from the Newcastle area have been booked for this festive occasion.
