St James Concert & Assembly Hall |
Here is our busy programme of events for 2005 - the choir celebrates 20 years.
Most of our concerts feature 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' will feature in Sark once again in June and at other events as requested.
The first major event this year will be the Good Friday concert on 25th March at St James. The evening will offer a profound and moving portrayal of the events of those biblical times from Palm Sunday through to the crucifixion of Christ.
Next will be our 60th anniversary Liberation Day celebration concert on 9th May at St James.
This will take us up to our two holiday-maker concerts on 12th June and 3rd July both at St James
An annual event of the Choir is informal carol singing in the town of St Peter Port in December. 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 9th and Saturday 10th December 2005
