Dates for 2021

Initial U3A Kingston Singers rehearsal date = Thursday 16th September 2021 at Glenmore House, Surbiton. We are gradually getting used to living with Covid-19 and some choirs are now coming out of isolation. We are no exception. At the time of writing this piece, our first Concert, which is our annual Christmas Concert, will be held on Saturday 11th December 2021 at the Methodist Church, New Malden. With the current situation do please check this website for any changes to this date.

Semi Chorus (Consort)

We would like to develop a small semi chorus/consort from within the choir. Suggest 6 to 8 singers , one or two from each part, to offer a separate spot at concerts , (so the choir can have a rest!!) or to sing at local venues/concerts in promoting the choir. All yet to be discussed and finalised but if interested do have a word with Roger.

Committee Meetings

We had our first, and informal kick off committee meeting on Thursday 22nd July 2021. Monica was brought onto the committee as our Librarian.

Coronavirus

We are now beginning to get our U3A singing hats on and have booked our rehearsal venue for the coming season. We shall be returning to Glenmore House for our first rehearsal of the 2021/2022 season on Thursday 16th September 2021. All are welcome to come and try us out.
