The
choir will celebrate its 40th birthday in 2003 - help us make it a
year to remember as we entertain the male voice choir from Sarpsborg,
Berwick's twin town in Norway, in May.
We currently have 47 members, ranging in age from 16 to 89; we rehearse
in St Andrew's Wallace Green, Berwick on Wednesday evenings from 7
till 9 p.m. from September to April.
The Berwick Male Voice Choir is being worked hard by its Musical Director,
Judith Richards, widening its already very varied repertoire of songs,
and has a busy programme of concerts in Berwick and the surrounding
area helping many charitable and other organisations raise thousands
of pounds. There is a strong camaraderie among the members and wives
are very much part of the choir 'family'.
If you would like to sing with the choir (you don't have to be able
to read music or have had previous experience in a choir), or would
like to book the choir for a concert, contact the Secretary Ian Corsie
on 01289 387257 or email iancorsie@bigfoot.com
Come along to one of our concerts and join us in the wonderful gift
of song. |
