Dear all

 

TIMETABLE –  APRIL & MAY  

On the back of this sheet is the choir timetable up to the end of May.  As usual, I will print plenty of paper copies.  Electronic versions will be found on the church's website (www.slhk.org); follow the links to ‘music’ and then to ‘Newsletter and timetable’. The monthly music lists will also appear there.  During this period there are some special services as follows:

 

·       On Palm Sunday (April 2) morning the Hythe Girls Choir is singing at the St Michaels’s Anglican-Methodist Church Centre, Prospect Road.  There is an optional procession at 10.30 starting from St Michaels.  The main service at St Michael’s starts at 11.00.  Girls will need to bring their own robes to St Michaels’s.  I will bring the music copies.

·       Maundy Thursday Eucharist 6 April  (Boys and Men Choir) is at 7.00pm (note the different time of this service)

·       Good Friday - Some boys are involved with Shepway Singers from 4.30 to sing in the Fauré Requiem (performance at 6.00pm)

·       Easter Sunday Evensong involves both the girls choir and the boys and men.

·       There is a break from rehearsals and services immediately after Easter

·       Easter Carols – for boys, girls and men will be on Sun 23 April. 

·       On the weekend of the Coronation the is a plan to have a joint Churches Together service at 6.00pm – note the time.  This will involve the boys and men and the adult mixed choir.  Further information will be given once this has firmed up.

 

CHORAL AND MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS

The PCC, using funds made available by the Onward Charity, is to create up to eight Choral Scholarships for young people in full-time education.  Anyone in year 10 or above at school or at college/university but living locally can apply.  Scholars will be attached to the Adult Mixed Choir. These are training positions and will be of particular interest to anyone thinking of taking music studies further.  The present value is £360 per scholar per year.  For further details and how to apply, contact me.

 

In addition, the Onward Charity is to create some music scholarships for pupils in Years 4 to 6 at local primary schools to help with the costs of instrumental or singing lessons.  These will operate from September.  Applicants are required to try membership of the boys or girls choirs at St Leonard’s. Again, I can give further details.

 

RECRUITMENT

Keep up the good work of recruiting additional singers.

 

Best wishes
