Singers (and congregation) welcome!

Join Astbury choir for another Come and Sing Evensong on 29th September at 6.30pm, celebrating the wonderful music of Charles Villiers Stanford, who died 100 years ago – on the Sunday nearest his birthday (30th September).
Stanford’s music is unashamedly romantic and very rewarding for singers, without being too difficult. We will sing his Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in Bb and his anthem, ‘O for a closer walk with God’, as well as responses based on his compositions, a chanted psalm and two congregational hymns.
The rehearsal will be from 2.30 to 5.00 in the afternoon and, if any singers would like to join us, we will also be learning the music during Friday evening choir rehearsals in September from 7.00 to 8.00. Music and listening files can be sent out in advance.
To take part, or for more information, please contact Sally Drage: 07977 903561, [email protected], or talk to her after a service.
