Fakenham Choral Society – shout out for new singers!
With the launch of its 50th anniversary season on September 5th, Fakenham Choral Society is on the hunt for new singers to help celebrate its birthday in style. The choir, which has rehearsed and performed regularly in Fakenham since 1973, has an enviable reputation for bringing great choral music to north Norfolk. Many are exciting, large-scale, pieces which depend on a sizeable choir - often with an orchestra and professional soloists - to achieve their maximum impact.
Tracey Thompson, the society’s secretary, is convinced there are local people out there who would find singing in the choir a fantastically rewarding experience. Says Tracey: ‘Singing with others is known to bring all sorts of benefits to both physical and mental health. Choir members will testify that it’s also plain, good old-fashioned, fun. We are an approachable lot and many of our singers have become really good friends.’
With the prospect of three magnificent concerts ahead, including the iconic ‘Requiem’ by Verdi in April 2024, this will be a season to remember. More information on joining the choir can be found at www.fakenhamchoralsociety.
