New Musical Director wanted

Due to ill health we are urgently looking for a new Musical Director to be appointed from January. We want someone who can inspire, coach and develop the singing abilities of our choristers.

The successful candidate should preferably have experience of male voice choirs but someone wishing to gain and develop experience would be considered.

A prime quality would be to be able to make rehearsals and concerts both enjoyable and challenging.

This is an exciting opportunity to continue the development of the choir and its repertoire.

An honorarium to cover travel and other expenses will be paid.

Please email all enquiries/applications to ysgrif@corcaerwys.co.uk

Roger Jenkins - Secretary Côr Meibion Caerwys

No rest for the ???

Just a quick reminder that rehearsals start again on Wednesday 28th at 6:45pm; really looking forward to seeing you all again.

The plan is to start with a bit of an overview of your current repertoire for the September gigs (15th-Cymanfa Ganu, 22nd-Bodelwyddan wedding); if there are any songs you think need a proper look at, please let me know (I've already had a couple of requests for the Tenor parts of Rachie...)

The bride has asked for the following for the wedding, so please make sure you've got your copies of: The Rose, Love Changes Everything, Calon Lan, and You Raise Me Up.  We'll also be singing for about fifteen minutes before the service, rep to be confirmed.

Also, if you've got any burning desires to sing any particular pieces, new or otherwise, please let me know.  I have some cunning plans, but would be glad of your input too.  

Thanks all, 

Helena.  

Goodbye and Hello

The Choir is  sorry to have to say goodbye to Ruth Evans, our MD, who is sadly leaving us due to new work commitments with Welsh National Opera.  We are very grateful to Ruth for the astounding contribution she has made to the choir and we say "Go raibh míle míle maith agat" - diolch o galon.

Ruth was presented with a commemorative plaque at her last concert with the choir which took place in Kelso, Scotland where the  Choir were performing at the Civil Week Festival.

We are however delighted to announce the appointment of Helena Thomas as our new MD.

Helena will take up the baton when the choir returns from the summer break on

Wed. 28th August. We are looking forward to her youthful and dynamic leadership. Full details are available of the choir's main webpages at:- www.corcaerwys.co.uk
