Invitations to rehearsals are sent out once or twice a week by email and WhatsApp in the following format. Merel van der Knoop is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting this Tuesday. Time: Saturday XXXX at 15:00 Scroll down for older rehearsal filesWe have been using Zoom on a weekly basis since 24 March 2020 to join together and sing for up to an hour on a Tuesday evening and some Saturday afternoons. These events are led by Merel and publicised via email and WhatsApp, and include warmups, exercises and singing a song or two. Zoom can be accessed via a home computer, office laptop, tablet, or even a smartphone. You don't actually have to download the Zoom App for it to work, but to get best value out of your participation you should enable audio, and if you have it, video when you sign in to the meeting. Anyone needing help with how this all works can contact their friendly (and not totally competent) webmaster on 07557 216579 and we'll try to work out a fix.
From July we concentrated on the four choir-only carols for our virtual Christmas events which are now at the planning stage. We sang plenty of other repertoire too, so winter clothes were not absolutely necessary! In the event we produced - with huge input from TfL and our recording mix company in Oxford - an absolutely splendid performance with a mix of live and recorded readings and carols. Who would have thought we could do that a year ago!
