The Gildenburgh
Choir draws its members, women, men and young people, from Peterborough
and the surrounding area, and is open to anyone with a love of
singing. One of our major strengths is the wide range of different
types of music that we sing, from major classical choral works
through to modern pop songs.
If you
are interested in trying out, or joining us, you can contact our
Membership Secretary, Jenny Sheldrake, on 07904 308035 or just
come along to a rehearsal. These are held every Monday (during
term time) from 7.30 - 9.30 pm at St Andrew's Church Hall, Ledbury
Road, Netherton, Peterborough PE3 9RF.
If after
attending 3 to 5 rehearsals you would like to become a permanent
member then fees are currently £40 per term (£120
pa)
We are
currently recruiting all parts, Sopranos, Altos, Basses and Tenors.
In particular we are looking for 1st Sopranos, Altos and Basses.
We would also like to introduce younger singers into the choir
who may currently sing with other groups or just fancy having
a go.
We occasionally
travel away to perform. In October 2011 we spent a weekend at
the Morritt Hotel at Greta Bridge, near Barnard Castle, County
Durham and performed at the hotel and the nearby Bowes Museum.
We visited the Isle of Man in 2017 to perform two concerts, one
with some local IOM choirs, and have a look round the island.
In April 2018 we sang at a NAC concert in Norwich Cathedral with
3 other choirs following the NAC annual conference.
