Stour Singers

Stour Singers and their audience alike were deeply moved by Brahms’ Requiem, which they performed in St. Edmund’s Church, Shipston, in May, with soprano Robyn Allegra Parton and baritone Quentin Hayes as soloists, and Fiona Brown and Sara Harris at the piano. As the choir approaches its fortieth anniversary year in 2015, Richard Emms as conductor and director since its inception continues to inspire and energise the choir to communicate both intimately and powerfully with the audience.

Stour Singers truly is open to all – whatever age, stage, or musical ability, and is a wonderful local opportunity to share in making music. If you have sung previously, or if the idea is new to you, and you would like to try singing with a friendly choral society, you would be very welcome. The choir meets in Shipston Primary School’s Hall on Thursday evenings at 7.30.p.m., starting on 4^th September, and you can find out more by contacting Yvonne Ridley (Co-ordinator) on 01789 269587, or by visiting the website: www.stoursingers.org.uk

We would especially like to invite students in secondary and further education to join us, (and for you, there is no cost). The Christmas Concert this year – on 13^th December – features works by Michael Haydn, Joseph Haydn, Mozart and Buxtehude, together with carols.
