St James Concert & Assembly Hall |
Here is our busy programme of events for 2003.
Each concert features professional guest artistes from the UK (mainly England and Wales) together with the Choir's soloists Jo Paine, Jean Vidamour and Ruth Smale. The Friendship Company of juniors and teenagers often feature in our concerts.
The 'Sing for Sark' and the 'Lite Menu'/Freetime carnival groups will feature in Sark in June and the Town Carnival in August and at other events as requested.
The first major event this year will be the Good Friday concert on 18th April at St James. The evening will offer a profound portrayal of the events of those biblical times from Palm Sunday through to the crucifixion of Christ.
Next will be our Liberation celebration concert 'Last Night at the Proms' on 9th May at St James.
This will take us up to our two holiday-maker concerts on 8th June and 6th July both at St James
An annual event of the Choir is informal carol singing in the town of St Peter Port. However to round off the year, most popular of all will be the 'An amazing two nights of Christian fun and festivity' - carols, bells, party hats and seasonal music for everyone at St James with a special performance from the Childrens' choir Friendship Company. The Christmas Carol Festival concerts will be on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th December 2003
