Looking Back and Forwards

Posted on by

We thoroughly enjoyed the summer concert, just over two weeks ago now, at the Princess Pavilion. A warm sunny evening (a little too hot for some) provided the backdrop for a varied programme of music laced together with a theme of peace and joy. In addition to the choir pieces there were solos from choir members – vocal, instrumental and poetical – as well as a singing trio and the delightful Carrick Consort recorder group.

After a well-deserved short summer break, rehearsals begin again tonight at 7.30pm at The Hub, Carnon Downs (in the hall next to the Methodist Chapel). Anyone interested in joining the choir is very welcome to come along on a Thursday evening to see what we get up to.

Thanks to our choir supporters Peter and John for the photos of the evening.

Summer is coming!

Despite the wind and greyness today, Stithians Ladies are full of the joys of summer and busy getting ready for our next concert. We are happy to say that our new Musical Director is settling in well, and we are delighted that Rico agreed to take us on. We have been busy rehearsing a range of new songs, including the lively medieval Sumer is icumen in, as well as more modern tunes and some old favourites. We will be at the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth on Monday 22 July, as part of their Summer Sounds programme, please come and join us for an entertaining evening.

Upcoming concerts

Tomorrow, Wednesday 10 June, we have a concert at Gwennap Church as part of their summer evening concert series. It starts at 7.30pm.

Later in the month, on Saturday 27th, we are at Budock Church, and will be joined by The Beatroots from Oxford. They are an a cappella group of nine Oxford University postgraduates who sing their own imaginative arrangements of pop songs, combining harmonies and vocal percussion with a splash of humour.

Christmas is coming!

Tomorrow is our first Christmas event of the year. We’re singing carols at The Coppice Inn, Lanner, as part of the village’s Christmas lights festivities. The lights are being switched on at 7pm in The Square, and we’ll be starting about 7.30, to give people the time to wend their way down the long length of Lanner to The Coppice.
