St Teath Church Choir
2009Annual Christmas Concert
Wednesday 23 December at 7.30 pm
Seasonal Refreshments
Admission Free : Retiring collection for choir funds
2008 has proved to be another year of hard work and fun for us. As well as leading the hymn singing on Sunday mornings and performing a variety of anthems on special church occasions, we have sung at weddings, funerals and memorial services throughout the year.
In April, we sang in Truro Cathedral to aid our choirmaster and musical director, Dave Phippen, demonstrate the use of the computer to provide music in church. In July, we sang at the St Teath Flower Festival concert alongside the Wadebridge Male Voice Choir.
The crowning achievement of the year was supporting Johnny Cowling at his two Elvis Gospel concerts in Truro Cathedral, singing to over 850 people each night! We received much acclaim for our performance of five spirituals, and some found it hard to believe that we were "just a small church choir!"
As always, Christmas will be a very busy time for the choir, the highlight being our annual Christmas Concert, which will be on Saturday 20th December at 7.30 in St Teath Church, featuring seasonal music and audience participation. Entry is free and festive refreshments will be available after the concert. We hope that as many people as possible will join us to celebrate the joys of Christmas.
This year we have been pleased to welcome five new members, Megan, Gina, Denise, Dave and John, and we look forward to going from strength to strength next year.
