Dear all

Next Monday, we will be rehearsing the sections from Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle that we did not cover last week, principally Et vitam (from Et resurrexit) on page 150.  The livestream link will be: https://www.youtube.com/live/A0hY1DFJlwU.

You might be interested in hearing Verdi's Requiem in Bath Abbey with the Fulltone Orchestra on Friday 13 March.  They are also performing it on Sunday 15 March at Cheltenham Ladies College.  See here: https://fto.org.uk/.  According to the Gazette, Gareth Morris will be the tenor soloist!  The Fulltone Chorus are looking for singers, so if you are interested in singing Verdi's Requiem in concert after our workshop, look here: https://fto.org.uk/the-fulltone-chorus/.

Best wishes,
Mike Elcock
