Conductors Notes + 2025/6 Dates and Music (Karen Brett)

You sounded FABULOUS yesterday! Just a couple of points…..

1 Make sure you breathe in enough before entries

2 Be wary of pitch at the end of phrases and come off when I bring you off!

3 Smile and Glow with Joy and Delight

4 Sing out when I indicate but also we must sing softly where possible; dynamics are key!

5 Enjoy the experience. You have a professional orchestra supporting you and we are sold out; epic!

I need you all to be ready to sing at 12noon for rehearsal on the conk please. The more promptly we start the quicker you can get back and get changed.

Regarding festive bling in the second half, it would be wise to take off any festive hats for the Chilcott Midwinter and the Jenkins Adiemus at the end; the sound is v different when you wear a hat and those pieces need to be rock solid. But by all means go ultra festive with the orange book pieces!

This will be an awesome concert ….watch , concentrate but above all…..ENJOY YOURSELVES!

Yours Musically

Phil
