The Choir of St John’s, with other local singers, will perform The Crucifixion, by John Stainer, on Good Friday, 7 April, at 7 pm.
Leaving collection for the Choir Fund.
Soloists: Edward Hughes (tenor), Christopher Jacklin (bass)
Philip Rees (organ), John Barnard (conductor)
Singers welcome for the choir (rehearsal, 4.30 pm on the day): details here or from Simon Patrick, 020 8427 7993.
It would be very helpful if those planning to join us for the choir would let Simon know, with the part (soprano/alto/tenor/bass) that they will be singing. Last year we were particularly short of tenors and basses; if you know any who can sing in harmony and either know the piece or could learn it during the rehearsal, please encourage them to sign up!
Those attending in the congregation at 7 pm will be invited to join in the hymns but do not need to attend the rehearsal.
