CHORAL GROUP SUMMER WORKSHOPAre you a Broadway baby, a West End whizz, or just waiting for the chance to sing your heart out with a group of other musical theatre fans? Summer is coming, and we're all ready to feel the Rhythm of Life and enjoy Another Day of Sun. Even if the weather's bad, we'll be Singin' in the Rain. That's right - it's Our Time for the annual GAOS Choral Group summer workshop and YOU are invited! Under the baton of Chelsea Middleton, you'll have the chance to build your confidence as we blend musicality and singing to prepare a spectacular programme of 13 big chorus numbers from Broadway shows. A series of six rehearsals will culminate in a public performance at 17h on Sunday 12th July in the Salle Communale de Commugny. Check out the schedule below. The workshop is open to all GAOS members from age 14+, as well as to our friends from sister societies and choirs, with a small fee towards costs. All GAOS members are warmly encouraged to sign up for a fee of CHF 50, while non-GAOS members are also welcome to join for a fee of CHF 70. We're waiting for your sign-up, whether it's Tomorrow, or by the deadline of 8th June. Please direct your registrations/queries to choralgroup@gaos.ch. Rehearsal Schedule: Concert: Who are we?The Choral Group is made up of GAOS members who love to sing. Some members use the opportunity to "keep in voice" in between shows, while others simply like the chance to sing without the demands of a mainstage production. Rehearsals usually take place on Monday evenings 19h00-20h30 at GAOS HQ. |
