New Term

We’re all very excited to be singing again on Wednesday 13th September!

However, choir life didn’t stop completely during the summer break. Many choir members enjoyed an evenings’ picnic on Putney Common, giving everyone the chance to catch-up on news.

Last weekend, a few members of the choir were lucky enough to be asked to take part in some filming for an upcoming thriller called Naked, which due to premiere on Sky Max in November. We can’t wait to to see them on the big screen!

This term, we will be performing as part of the Brighter Living Festival that is taking place all over the borough – details to follow. And, as always, our term will finish with our Christmas Concert on Saturday 9th December at St Mary’s Church, Putney.

And you can join in the fun too! We always welcome new singers and this is a great time to come along and find out more about our fun and friendly community choir.

Concert News

It seems as if every concert performed by the Dover House Singers is better than the last, but the latest which took place in St Mary’s Church on 15 July exceeded all expectations. The performance was joyful, and if the enthusiastic applause was anything to go by, seemed to strike a chord with the audience. Although the idea of a singalong may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the entire audience joined in unreservedly with Daydream Believer and Do-Re-Mi. 

Highlights of the evening were the choir’s rendition of Moon River, the medley of Beatles’ songs and the tribute to the Everly Brothers.  The proceeds of the concert from the raffle and other donations will be given to Re Generate Rise, to top up the total, already in excess of £13,000, donated by the Singers to date .

The new term begins on 13 September at St Margarets Church. Rehearsals are every Wednesday evening. This is a non-audition community choir open to all so if you are interested in coming along, get in touch!
