NewsOur New CD
Our very first CD, recorded live recently, is now available. "A Musical Extravaganza" features popular songs from the well-known musicals by the choir and guest artist Ben Thapa (formerly a member of G4). To order your copy, please send your name and address, together with a cheque, made payable to Billingham Choral Society, to the address below. The CD costs £8.00 plus £2.00 post and packing. They will also be available at future concerts. We feel sure that you will enjoy this selection of choral and solo items. Billingham Choral Society, 9 Sherburn Avenue, BILLINGHAM, Stockton on Tees, TS23 3PX. All music and some items of uniform are provided for choir members to ensure that everyone is smartly dressed for performances. Billingham Choral Society is a member of the National Association of Choirs (Northeast) and enjoyed taking part in the Choral Spectacular which took place in the City Hall, Newcastle on September 26th 2009. It is hoped that the Choir will continue to flourish for many years to come, bringing pleasure to both singers and audiences in the area.
The last choir concert this term, in Yarm, raised £320.00 for the building fund for a new catholic church in Ingleby Barwick. Choir rehearsals recommence on Wednesday September 1st. Would any choir be interested in hosting a concert with THE SIGNING CHOIR from San Diego sometime in JULY 2011? They MAY be coming over to present a concert on Teesside with Billingham Choral Society and would welcome the opportunity to participate in other concerts in the North-East. They perform regularly at SEA WORLD - get well remunerated and can, therefore, fund their own travel expenses. Their web address is www.signingchoir.com Some members are deaf or have partial hearing - they dance and sign to music - very moving to watch, but they do need a large performance area. Anyone interested, please scontact Margaret Pringle; 01642 363502. Email: jmdkwlar@ntlworld.com In February 2009, we were granted an award under the "Awards for All" scheme, part of the National Lottery. This award has enabled us to replace our electronic piano and purchase additional music to add to our repertoire. ![]() We are grateful to Grass Roots Funding for continued financial support. New members have been equipped with matching outfits, music and monogrammed folders. The choir continues to go from strength to strength.
