Eildon SingersThe choir, founded in 1979, currently has 55 members, drawing people from throughout the Central Borders. A friendly group, we meet for rehearsals on Wednesday evenings, from September till May (7.30 - 9.30pm), in Newtown Community Wing. We usually prepare two major concerts in December and May in local venues. Our Christmas concert, which included a miscellany of Christmas music and carols, was performed in Selkirk Parish Church on December 7, and in Melrose Parish Church on December 14 last.
Our Spring concert will take place on May 10th in the Volunteer Hall, Galashiels. The choir will be performing Bonny Kilmeny by James McCunn, with orchestral accompaniment and other pieces for orchestra. Rehearsals are currently under way for this concert. Our Musical Director is Catherine Fish, and our rehearsal accompanist, Molly Pringle. New voices are most welcome, particularly tenors and basses. If you enjoy singing please come and join us. Our Secretary is Margaret Lawson (01896 753123).
