Sunday, February 28th
The Scala Theatre in Prestatyn is
a new venue for the choir. This old cinema in the High Street has been completely
restored and converted into a concert hall by the "Friends of the Scala".
The concert is to celebrate its re-opening and it should be a gala evening
with the supporting artistes.
March 5th to 7th Choir trip to Harrogate.
Originally this
was to give a concert for the Mayor of York's Charity Fund. It was all arranged,
hotel, transport etc., but then we heard no more. Never mind, we will have
a convivial weekend away without any responsibilities.
Annual Festival Concert at the Flint Pavilion Saturday,
April 17th.
This concert is the only event we stage where all the profits go to choir
funds and without the cash from it our our accounts look rather sick. Last
year we invited the Glanaethwy Junior Choir and what an eye opener that
was; we were all astonished at the tremendous sound and sheer exuberance
of the young performers. This year the Senior Choir have accepted and they
are renowned as the top school choir in Wales. Their performances in Côr
Cymru (S4C) and "Last Choir Standing" have given them the status they deserve
and we are honoured to perform with them. Don't miss this.
St.Ethelwolds Church, Shotton, Saturday, May 22nd
Another
regular venue for the choir and once more we are happy to contribute to
their funds.
Leigh Parish Church, Lancashire, Saturday, June 12th.
We
have sung here before as one of our Lancashire excursions, this time it
is to help with an appeal (no pun intended) to save the church bells. The
venue is a traditional Anglican building, wonderful acoustic and a real
pleasure to perform in. We always look forward to Lancashire.
Flint Festival, Opening Concert, Saturday, July 3rd.
This
year the Flint Festival runs from 3rd to 17th July and we are pleased to
open this worthy event at the Gwynedd School. By popular demand we have
re-invited Ysgol Glanaethwy Junior Choir to appear, they were so delighted
with their reception here in 2009 and are really looking forward to this
time. Once again, don't miss this one.
Saturday, July 24th.
The only time we have used Mostyn
Parish Church was for a rehearsal to assess its suitability for a recording
and prior to the visit to Austria. Much water has passed under the bridge
since those days and we are pleased to return to sing for Mostyn folk where
we know we have lots of support.
Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight. Saturday 29th August.
In 2009 we appeared at this unique venue for the first time and were so
well received the management could not wait to book us again. We are very
flattered, especially when you see the quality of the artistes they have
there. The theatre is a true community effort and puts on events throughout
the year in a truly professional manner. We will try and uphold their standards.
September.
We are holding this space in the diary for a
prestigious booking which at the moment is on the blocks awaiting the starter's
gun. Watch this space.
Flint High School, Flint Young Musician Competition, Saturday
October 16th.
This will be the 24th year for this prestigious event and
we have decided to make a double change. Our normal date has been March,
but there is so much going on for young musicians at this time we have decided
on the autumn to see if this makes any difference to the entrants. Overt
the years the Armoury Masonic Hall have been very kind to the competition,
but changes to their set up have made the evening concert quite difficult.
Flint High School have welcomed us with open arms and their drama theatre
has the intimate atmosphere ideal for young performers. It will also enable
the choir to sing during the final adjudications. Contact the Choir Secretary
for details.
Hafan Deg, Treuddyn, Friday October 22nd.
The concert is
in the school hall. We have performed here many times not least many years
ago in their eisteddfod, probably best forgotten.
Annual Charity Concert, December
12th.
The choir host
this concert to help local charities and voluntary organisations who would
be unable to host a concert on their own. They sell the tickets and get
the proceeds for themselves. Now in its umpteenth year and as successful
as ever A great way to welcome the festive season.
Weddings. From time to time the choir are asked to assist
at wedding ceremonies, both to aid in the hymn singing and to entertain
while the congregation assembles and during the register signing. If any
couple wish to avail themselves of this service please contact us through
the Concert Secretary,Gwyn Hughes on 01352 761889 Thanks.
