Doncaster choral group is looking for new singers to join their community team

A choral choir is asking for local people to come and support their shows and is looking for new members.

Anna James who is part of the Isle Choral Singers said: “It is a busy few weeks beckons for Isle Choral Singers with several chances to come and hear the best-known choir throughout the Isle of Axholme - and beyond, as it turns out, as we have a joint concert in June with the Horncastle Choral Society.

“Those of us in Isle Choral Singers have had a packed spring schedule but we have still been practising diligently for a joint performance of Haydn's Nelson Mass.

“It's a beautiful melodic work and quite complex for amateur singers but we are determined to prove we're up to the task when we perform it on June 13 along with the Horncastle choir will join us at St Nicholas' Church in Haxey at 7pm.

“If you'd like to hear it twice or perhaps compare performances (perish the thought),then there's a chance to do so a week earlier on June 6 at st Mary's Church in Horncastle.

“It's not too long a journey and well worth it to hear a wonderful choral work by a master composer.

“Both performances are conducted by our very own Robert Steadman-Hill. Fisticuffs between the two chois are not expected!”

The Isle Choral Singers will of be taking part in Epworth Music Day when they will perform two sets - the first at 12.40pm in the Market Square, Epworth and at the evening grand finale concert in St Andrew's Church, Epworth.

“Please come and support your very own home-grown choir and show that all those weekly rehearsals are not in vain. Nothing in the world lifts the spirits more than an audience and, hopefully, a round of applause” she continued.

“And if you like what you hear, why not join us next term, in September, when we will start on a whole new programme of songs.

“There's a ton of scientific evidence to prove that singing is good for you, both for physical and mental well-being.

“Rehearsals are on Mondays from 7.15pm to 9.15pm at Imperial Hall, Epworth.

“No auditions, no previous experience needed and absolutely no judgment.”
