Saturday 1 April 2023 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
