REHEARSALS

All rehearsals take place in Worcester Cathedral on Monday evening from 7.30 p.m. until 9.30 p.m. Rehearsals on concert days take place at the concert venue normally commencing at 1.45 p.m.

As a member of the Choir you are expected to participate in all concerts in which the Choir is engaged and to attend as many rehearsals as possible. We expect members to be at a minimum of 75% of rehearsals. The rehearsal programme provides information about our schedule and includes forthcoming concerts and other events.

TICKETS

Choir members can obtain concert tickets from our Ticket Secretary or at our Monday rehearsals.

MUSIC

Music is provided free to members for all concerts with the exception of the Messiah. You will be expected to purchase your own copy of the Messiah – Watkins Shaw edition. Use our link to Amazon if you have not got a copy.

All borrowed music must be returned to our Librarian by the night of the concert. If for any reason you find that you are unable to sing in a concert then please return your music as soon as possible and at the latest at the last rehearsal before the concert. If you cannot bring it or send it via a friend to a Monday rehearsal then it can be delivered or posted to his home address.

Every Choir member must have a WFCS folder to be used during concerts. These are issued to members on receipt of a £5 deposit, which is returnable when the member returns the folder on leaving the Choir. If you are a new member then please see the Librarian to obtain your folder.

DRESS

Men - black dinner suit, white shirt, black bow tie, black shoes. Ladies - Black skirt (to cover the knee when seated) or black smart trousers, long sleeved black top with collar or high neck, black shoes and accessories.
