Choir's "Crossing" Concert..
We enjoyed our concert at The Crossing in Worksop on 27 February, and judging by our reception we believe our audience did too! The Crossing is a great venue to sing in, with good acoustics. All choir members are grateful to Mary Cobbold for being our accompanist for the evening (and recent rehearsals) in the absence of Adrian Jordan. Our guest, Tim Boswell, played some wonderful violin music. Paul Green, our music director, accompanied Tim on piano as well as conducting the choir and telling some of his renowned jokes – though perhaps one was a trifle bizarre.

2008 Highlights, 2009 Plans
2008
The Choir's two Christmas Concerts in Dore Church were as usual very well attended. Our guests, Take Notes, a string quartet, were a nice contrast to the Choir, particularly in terms of age, as Take Notes are all still at school!
Other highlights from 2008 were an enjoyable Choir Gala concert at All Saints Church, Ecclesall in October - our guests included Cantores Novae, Vivien Pike's choir for young women and girls - and a concert at Rugby given with our friends from Wigston and St Edmundsbury Male Voice Choirs. We are told that the sound of the three choirs together was very impressive.
We've been quite successful recruiting new members during the year, and had a particularly worthwhile open evening in November. Membership is still open; if you're interested in joining us, please see our website - www.doremalevoicechoir.com or contact any member of the Choir.
2009
We have a concert at Worksop on 28 February. We're on tour to Cyprus in the autumn, and our Christmas concerts at Dore Church are already booked for 11 and 12 December! Planning for other events is under way. It looks like another busy year!
