Message from Laurence after Saturday’s (29/11/2025) concert for Elijah
To my Welly Choral Friends
Thank you for doing such a great job at Saturday’s concert. It was great to be able to perform St Nicolas, and introduce it to our audience (and you!). I hope you enjoyed the performance after all the hard work in the term.
You make it all possible, both by turning up and singing, and encouraging friends and family to come and see/hear you in action.
An extra shout out to everyone who takes on extra jobs in the choir as well as singing. All that cake making, stage building, programme printing, poster-designing and a heap of other jobs are so important.
Our next project is Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem. Recordings and other links are all here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1073-AVx8VynI4n72pjea1DoILi9Dyshm0XB06EgCrOg/edit?usp=drivesdk ) and information about the score will follow.
See you in January!
Concert Review
Wellington Choral Society had a wonderful concert on Saturday 29 November 2025 with a full house - thank you to our audience for braving a chilly night and chilly church to come and hear us sing. Britten's St Nicolas was a great story to tell and very exciting music from the orchestra and particularly the tympany. We were thrilled to have three choristers from Exeter Cathedral to sing the 'pickled boys' and singers from Exeter University Chapel choir to sing in the gallery, and Michael Graham tenor gave a moving performance of St Nicholas. In the second half of the concert we sang Part 1 of Handel's Messiah which was a very fitting end to the concert and start to the festive season.
We now look forward to rehearsals for Brahms German Requiem which we will be performing on Saturday 28 November 2026 at 7.00pm at St John's Church Wellington, TA21 8QY. Rehearsals start on Wednesday 7 January 2026 at 7.30pm at Wellington Prep School Hall TA21 8NT. We are a friendly choir and welcome new singers.
