New Year with Okehampton Choral Society

The Okehampton Choral Society is resuming its rehearsals on Monday January 8th, at Fairplace Church, Okehampton -  following its busy Christmas schedule, which included three performances  of Handel’s ‘Messiah’ and lashings of seasonal music.

There are lots of exciting plans for 2018 and it’s not too late to sign up and take part. The March concert will be a Gala Opera Night at Fairplace, featuring well-loved choruses by Bizet, Verdi, Borodin, Wagner and many others, as well as contributions from distinguished guest soloists. An Elizabethan Evening follows in May with an evening of Tudor madrigals and dances.

In June the society will be one of the many choirs taking part in the Dartmoor Resonance Festival in Princetown, where as well as their own contribution, they will be joining with singers from throughout West Devon and Cornwall for a performance of the dramatic cantata, ‘The Tavistock Witch’ - a re-telling of an old Dartmoor tale with words and music by the Okehampton Choral Society’s own musical director, Andrew Wilson.

Whether you would like to come and join this lively and friendly choir for a vocal work out, or if you’d rather come and listen to the fruits of their work as a member of the audience, you can be sure of a warm welcome from the Okehampton Choral Society.
