No doubt many of the members of both groups took the opportunity to sing in the New Year with a chorus of “Auld Lang Syne” and, judging from the phone calls, many are also looking forward to getting back together.
The Men of the Tay resume practices on Monday, January 19th at 7:00 PM in the Music Room at Perth and District Collegiate Institute.
The Women of the Tay resume practices on Wednesday, January 21st at 7:00 PM in the Music Room at St. Johns Catholic High School.
Both choruses are looking forward to a full season of music and singing together and will be appearing at many events throughout the winter, spring and summer months. The choruses have been invited to perform as part of the Memorial and Dedication Service of the Old Burying Ground on May 24th, and to come together for a concert on July 8th as part of the Tay 175 Anniversary. The Men of the Tay concert is scheduled for Monday evening, June 8th and the Women of the Tay concert is scheduled for Wednesday evening, June 10th.
New members are welcome. There are only a few spots remaining in the Women of the Tay and opening in each section of the Men of the Tay. Information on joining the chorus can be found on this website.
By all reports the evening was a success. The choruses performed at their best and were rewarded with warm applause throughout the evening. Everyone joined in a sing-a-long of favourite carols which included readings of the Nativity story from the Gospel of Luke.
