Rehearsals
The rehearsal schedule is available here.
Rehearsals are help on Monday evenings. Arrive from 7.30 pm to check in, pay the weekly fee (if not already done by EFT), and allow time for a chat. Rehearsal commences promptly at 7.40 pm.
St Andrew’s Church
Pioneer Chapel
228 New Street Brighton
enter from car park via Lady Chapel entrance (to left of the bluestone building)
Refreshments: on the first Monday of each month we usually finish rehearsal a little earlier to enjoy a cuppa and some social time. BYO mug.
We also have a monthly trading table on the same night to assist with fundraising.
Before rehearsal some members meet for a chat and a drink or bite to eat at the Dendy Deli, 26 Church St (five-minute walk or park out front).
2024 Fees
A weekly fee of $12.50
Please bring the correct amount to rehearsal as no change can be given. Payment can be made for several weeks at a time. EFT payment is preferred.
This fee assists us in meeting the choir expenses including hall hire, disinfecting materials as well as conductor and accompanist costs.
From time to time there is an additional fee payable to cover cost of music. In 2024 the score for our first concert, Karl Jenkin’s Requiem, will be $40. All choristers are required to purchase their own copy.
The committee monitors the financial position of the choir on a regular basis and accordingly may need to modify this arrangement in the future.
