Dear all

We will be having a rehearsal with Kate at 7.15pm this Monday and the following Monday to rehearse these three songs which were sent out last week:

Summer is a-cumen in
Now is the month of Maying
Walzing Matilda

This is primarily for those attending Steven's farewell on 18 May, but anyone can join in.  If you can't make it at 7.15, come when you can. 

At the main rehearsal on Monday, Steven will be looking at Sanctus, Cum sancto spiritu and Gloria.  The occasional music we have chosen is Ave verum corpus by Mozart.  This is attached for you to print off if required.  The livestream link is: https://www.youtube.com/live/6t7GDPCk-VI.

You may be interested in the Thornbury Eisteddfod concert.  This is at 7pm on Thursday 26 March in St Mary's Church and the performers are those who have done well in the Eisteddfod.
