Basildon Choral Society

BCS was delighted to be invited to take part in a GAG fund raising concert on Saturday 25th July, as it is a cause dear to the hearts of many members. Audience reaction to the programme of folk songs and songs from the shows was very enthusiastic and everyone enjoyed taking part. Rehearsals following the Mahler concert provided a relaxing way to end a demanding but rewarding term.

Listen to two of the songs we sang, as recorded in June 2008:

Saturday 14th November at 7.45pm

St Martin’s Church, Basildon, SS14 1DX

• Schubert: Mass in G major
• Haydn: Salve Regina
• Haydn: Mass ‘Rorate Coeli Desuper’
• Holst: Psalm 148
• Purcell: O Sing unto the Lord
• Purcell: Rejoice in the Lord always

This concert promises to be a feast of wonderful music, some you may find familiar, as we have previously performed it, and all will be sung with passion.

The Schubert Mass in G has soprano, tenor and bass soloists and the choir is accompanied by strings and organ.

Rehearsals are under way, why not come along and join us?  For details go to our rehearsals page.

Saturday 25th July at 8.00pm
