Welcome to Romsey Choral Society
News
Romsey Choral Society has had to change and adapt to the current social and health circumstances, along with many, many other organisations. We have been fortunate that our Musical Director, Richard Pearce, and our Accompanist, Richard McVeigh, have supported this by helping us to rehearse online. For some people this is their first experience of zoom, so a new challenge!
We have not only sung but also learned about some of the history and background of the music we are learning. We have listened to professional recordings of the pieces so that we can hear what we are aiming for. Richard Pearce has demonstrated to us just how versatile and knowledgeable he is, and we are lucky to have him with us during these unprecedented times making sure that there is music each week in one form or another.
We also have a break during rehearsal so that we can catch up in small groups and have a chat. As with any organisation, we look out for each other and keep in touch.
We do hope that we can sing again for our loyal audiences, whether this year or next year. Who knows?
We have some provisional dates in the diary and will publish details as soon as we possibly can.

Hello from lockdown
The choir's activities are curtailed, as the country and the world deal with this awful pandemic.
Our spring and summer concerts for 2020 were cancelled and our showcase Beethoven Missa Solemnis in November was possible either. We managed a small Christmas celebration - click on the link to the left of this page to hear us sing. So our staging of Elgar's Dream of Gerontius and Autumn's staging of Beethoven Missa Solemnis are merely postponed to another time, not cancelled entirely. We will perform them and you will be able to come and listen. We are planning to meet again as soon as it is safe so that we can sing together and work towards a concert for our supporters. We will emerge out of this. We all just have to be patient. Stay safe.
