|
The Churchdown (N.Glos) Good Afternoon Choir rehearse every Tuesday afternoon at Churchdown Community Centre from 12.30-2.30pm.
Grenville Jones, the founder of the Good Afternoon Choirs is delighted that Philippa Smith is taking over as the leader of the Churchdown (N.Glos) Good Afternoon Choir.
Philippa Smith is a creative, who uses various art forms to explore, express, and communicate her work.
Philippa studied Performance Arts, including Musical Theatre. Over the years she has explored and taught various genres such as Gospel music, as well as classical. Throughout her career she has worked as a theatre director, producer, vocal coach and performer. Although the majority of her work has been based in the UK, her work has taken her all over the world including Maylasia and Singapore.
Recently she has spent a large amount of time teaching singing to individuals, groups and choirs. Philippa runs her own Voice Academy based in Gloucester.
A warm welcome awaits any new members, there are NO auditions and everyone is welcome! There is no charge for attending your first rehearsal. Come alone or with a friend – either way Philippa and the Choir will be pleased to meet you. You will be joining over 1,000 people singing at Good Afternoon Choirs around the South West and beyond!
Membership forms are available to collect at every rehearsal. The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay £58 per term – this covers room and piano hire, music, admin and musician fees. You do not need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a membership form should you wish to join the choir – your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term.
If you have any questions about the Choir please contact Tracey or Jody at Grenville's office in Westfield/Midsomer Norton via e-mail [email protected] or tel 01761 472468.
