Rehearsals restart for the Autumn Term on Monday 2nd September at 7.30pm. Our Musical Director, Motje has devised an exciting programme for us - do see the section on future concerts for further information.
We have recently set up a scheme inviting friends and past members of the Chorale to continue their support of the choir by becoming a patron. Your valuable contribution will help with our running costs and ensure the choir can continue to put on high quality concerts using professional soloists in excellent venues in and around Shifnal.
For an annual fee of £60 or £5 monthly, we will keep you up to date on all our activities, specifically forthcoming concerts (Autumn, Christmas, Spring and Summer) and you will be entitled to three free tickets a year (currently worth £10 each) to be used at any of our concerts. You can of course purchase extra tickets for your family and friends.
To become a patron of the choir or for further information, contact Julie Jones – email: julieemmajones@icloud.com Phone: 07963 130675
