A bit of advance warning to all singers out there, this September there is a chance to sing in the Tenby Arts Festival Choir under the direction of Will Dawes, a specialist in ancient music, in the beautiful surroundings of Tenby's own mediaeval church, St. Mary's. Will Dawes is the conductor of Bath Choral Society and he will be joined by well-known soprano Sarah Benbow. Other soloists, to accompany and work with the choirs, will be confirmed soon. Haydn's 'Creation' is scheduled to take place on Saturday, September 20, providing a grand opening to the Tenby Arts Festival 2014. Tuition and rehearsal will start at 2 pm with a break for tea which will be served at the church. The performance is at 7 pm in St. Mary's Church, Tenby. There will be a charge of £7 for all participants and a refundable deposit of £5 for the sheet music. Last year's festival featured a choral performance scratch choir, conducted by Grant Llewellyn, who sang Brahms' Requiem. Everyone who attended enjoyed expert tuition, a memorable and fun experience and made new friends along the way. If you do not want to sing in the festival choir, but would still like to come and enjoy some exquisite music staged amongst the exquisite architecture of St. Mary's Church, put the date in your diary to come along and join the audience The Tenby Arts Festival is a week of quality entertainment all reasonably priced and staged within walking distance around Tenby town centre.
