If you enjoy singing and would like to join a Choir, Magdalene Choir is looking for 2 TENORS and 1 BASS. If you are interested, please email Benedict James Wilson on bjw42@cam.ac.uk to request a brief audition.
The usual weekly slots for Choir are :
Wednesday rehearsal 6 - 7.10 pm
Thursday rehearsal 5 - 6.25, evensong 6.45, FREE Formal Hall 7.30 pm
Sunday rehearsal 4.30 – 6.05, evensong 6.30, FREE Formal Hall 7.30 pm
There is a black-tie end-of-term dinner for the Choir and a summer lunch followed by punting. The Choir is called upon to sing at College feasts and is fed and watered into the bargain.
In addition to the weekly services and rehearsals, we usually visit a cathedral to sing Evensong once each term and in the summer we go on tour for about a week. In past years we have toured in Malta, Sweden, Germany, Holland and Belgium. It is good fun – ask the Choir!
This term members of the Choir will be a part of a larger choir in Gt St Mary's at a memorial service for Prof Henry Chadwick, an Honorary Fellow of Magdalene. We will also provide the Choir for the University Sermon, given by our Master. In January, Magdalene Choir is to be one of a small number of college choirs that have been asked to augment CUMS chorus in a performance of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, to be conducted by Christopher Robinson.
I very much hope that you will consider joining Magdalene Choir.
