Tonight is my first rehearsal for London Concord Singers' new term as I missed last week's rehearsal owing to family problems. This term is quite a busy one as we are preparing a programme for our concert on July 13th and then taking it to Tallinn, Estonia 2 weeks later; I'm currently organising the logistics of the choir trip (hotel rooms etc.).
At the same time, we are planning our concert for our 40th anniversary, this will be at St. Giles Cripplegate on November 18th. Having fixed the concert, venue and programme (so far we're doing Handel, Mozart and me) I now have to start contacting all of our old members so that they can be invited to the concert and post-concert bash - we always have one item of the programme sung by a mixture of current choir and old members
