A message from Kathryn
Kathryn Spence – one of our erstwhile members and massive supporter of Spotlight Musical Theatre Group has asked us to pass on the following information to any members who may be interested.
RE: MEET, EAT AND SING – St John’s Cathedral, George Street, Oban
You may already be aware that on Friday 30th May 2014, the Royal School of Music (RSCM) will be holding a “Meet, Eat and Sing” event at St John’s Cathedral and in this regard, we are asking you to “spread the word” by using the enclosed poster.
The primary aim of the RSCM is to “enable the best use of music in Christian worship, church life and in the wider community”. This is achieved in many ways, one of which being local singing events such as Meet, Eat and Sing.
Andrew Reid who became Director of the RSCM (UK), in September 2012 will be our conductor for the evening and Norman Nicholson whom most of you know will be our organist.
The event is free and is open to all ages keeping in mind that under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult. There will be a retiral collection, the proceeds of which will go to the RSCM and St John’s.
Participants are asked to meet at St John’s and be ready for a 6:30 p.m. start. What normally follows are voice warm ups and instruction on making the most of one’s vocal ability addressing such things as breathing and voice projection and of course to finish, an inspiring selection of music. Normally this music is not provided in advance. A buffet supper hosted by St John’s Cathedral choir will follow the musical part of the evening and the entire event should finish about 9:30 p.m.
It should be an enjoyable and informative evening and we hope as many people as possible will come along.
We will be back in touch closer to the time as for catering purposes, we will need a rough idea as to numbers. In the meantime, should you have any questions or require any more information, please get in touch with either myself or Lilian Kermode at 01631 571009 or lkermode47@btinternet.com
Thank you for your support.
Kind Regards
Kathryn Spence 01631 562843 or kathrynspence@btinternet.com
