Open Rehearsal 

Monday 10 February 2020 - 7.45pm to 9.45pm
Methodist Church, The Close, Blandford, DT11 7HA

Sing with us as we rehearse
James Macmillan • Miserere
Sheppard • Media Vita

“Media vita' … begins with some of the most haunting words in any of the Offices: 'Media vita in morte sumus' (in the midst of life we are in death). It was in setting these words that Sheppard conceived one of the greatest passages in all Tudor polyphony.”
Peter Phillips, Director of The Tallis Scholars

Come and join us for the evening - we're welcoming potential new singers or those who just want to give us a try. Bournemouth Sinfonietta Choir has vacancies for singers in all voices, but would welcome interested sopranos in particular.

This Open Rehearsal is an opportunity for singers of reasonable ability and sight reading to join the choir for an evening rehearsal and meet our director, David Gostick.
