- A Summer's Smorgasboard

Date Posted: Sun, 7 Jul 2024
Our 2024 summer concert was a great success. With music from John Dowland to Abba, there was something for everyone. A rousing finale saw the choir donning a wide array of hats - can you guess what we sang?
This was our first visit back to Warboys Parish Church since the pandemic. We were incredibly well looked after and enjoyed performing there once more. We had an excellent audience who not only enjoyed the music, but wind and cake too!

"To Music"
Our Concert of Austrian music (with a little German music) was a great success. We were treated to Schubert songs sung by soloists Lizzie Peacock and Simon Berridge alongside performances of Schubert's Mass in G, Haydn Little Organ Mass and Te Deum. We are grateful to our soloist Lizzie Peacock and to our two soloists from the choir Jon Buckwell and Adam Southwell. Our organist, Justin Waters, played the 1st Movement of Mendelssohn's 4th Organ Sonata as well as providing the organ and piano accompaniments to our vocal works.

Happy New Year
We are raring to go at Ramsey Choral Society and we are well-underway with rehearsals for our Spring Concert featuring Schubert's Mass in G. We have been delighted to welcome 6 potential new members and hope that they choose to stay with us.
Our Christmas concert was a great success and well-received by the audience. The Junior School Choir were superb and we hope to work with them again in the future.

On Sunday 24 September at Ramsey Rural Museum Plough Day, we had a great time. We were busy promoting our next concert, Faure's Requiem, to visitors from wide and far. Alongside this, we were actively looking to find new members. We did manage to send a few people away clutching leaflets with further information.
Our thanks go to Jenny and John who organised a tombola in aid of choir funds. We raised £120 which will help towards promoting music in Ramsey and the surrounding areas. Thank you to those members who turned our to help. It was a great community event.
- Review of our Mozart Concert

Date Posted: Mon, 1 May 2023
On Saturday 25th March, we performed our spring concert, Mozart's Requiem, to a fantastic audience. We were fortunate to be joined by singers from Northill Community Choir, Community Voices Water Eaton and other choirs. It was a delight to have friends of Fenharmonic Orchestra with us who provided an exceptional accompaniment for us. Fenharmonic played the slow movement from Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, soloist Lorraine Schulman. We also performed Mozart's Ave Verum and How Lovely are Thy Dwellings from Brahms' Requiem.
Once the baton was lifted, we all relaxed and gave it our all. The audience were very appreciative and all the performers thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

We are sorry that our accompanist James Thomas has moved on to pastures new after securing the role of organist and Director of Music at a church in Rugby. We have enjoyed working with James over the past few months and he will be greatly missed.
Lizzie Peacock, James' wife, has very kindly agreed to help us out for this term whilst we advertise for a new accompanist. She has made an excellent start and we are very grateful to her for making the journey each week.
