Does anyone truly remember the “two weeks to flatten the curve” myth that sent our community and our choirs into a tail-spin? We were well underway preparing our program for the spring of 2020 when we recessed for what we thought would be a short period of time. How wrong it turned out to be!
Now, after the success of May’s “Four Evenings To Sing!” we are in full planning mode for a December 7, 2022 Christmas Concert.
The choirs will begin rehearsal on Monday, September 19 for the Men and Wednesday, September 21 for the Women. Our music selections will feature many of the favourite seasonal selections we have performed over the past decade. The location of the rehearsals and concert will be announced shortly.
Over the summer months the membership of the choruses for the fall will be stabilized. Current members should watch for the emails asking for their commitment to our plans going forward. New members are welcome but subject to the number of positions that will be open within the sections.

After two highly successful spring concerts, the Men & Women of the Tay are already in preparation for the annual Christmas Concert which this year will be held on December 9, 2018 at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church (Drummond Street, Perth). The concert begins at 2:00 PM and a free-will contribution to the choir may be made at the doors.
Rehearsals for the concert start on Monday, September 24 for the Men and Wednesday, September 26 for the Women. Rehearsals begin at 7:00 PM and end precisely at 9:00 PM each evening. There rehearsals also take place in the sanctuary at St. James. This season there will be no rehearsal on Thanksgiving Monday (everyone attends on Wednesday) or on Halloween (everyone attends on the preceding Monday).
This year’s Christmas concert features music for the combined chorus as well as four feature numbers for the Men and four for the Women. There will also be a chance for the audience to join in singing many of the familiar carols of the season. There will be a wide variety of music presented: from beautiful traditional arrangements, to up-tempo seasonal songs.
There is never an audition to become a member, but often the chorus spots are filled to capacity. If you are interested in joining with us, contact us by email at musicofthetay@gmail.com to have your name placed on the waiting lists.
