From 1.00pm Saturday, 16th July 2005
St Andrew's Uniting Church, cnr Creek & Ann Street, Brisbane             to view and print PDF files. It's free!

Following the success of our Mozart Requiem from Scratch in 2003 and the Fauré Requiem from Scratch in 2004, Brisbane Concert Choir is pleased to invite singers from South East Queensland and beyond to take part in a rehearsal and performance of the glorious Haydn Nelson Mass. For further details please view and print our Flyer and Registration Form.

‘From Scratch’ performances are usually done in one day. A popular work is rehearsed and performed together with the hosting choir, accompanied by organ. We, however, have a professional orchestra and soloists, and an international conductor, Debra Shearer-Dirié. All singers are welcome. You don’t have to belong to a choir to take part. In fact, it’s a great way for ‘shower-only' singers to take it to the next level. It’s easy, and it’s fun. Take the plunge!

For an all inclusive price of $30  (or High School Student Special Price $20), you receive a copy of the music to keep, afternoon tea, a delicious dinner, and the opportunity to take part in a performance of this wonderful work. For an additional fee of $3,  we will post the music out to you in advance, so that you can do a little private practice on it, and perhaps allow you to get even more enjoyment from the day. Because there will be many singers present who have performed the work before, you don't have to be perfect. If you make a few mistakes, no one will know. The important thing is to have fun and help to make it an event to be remembered.

Rehearsal CDs are available for an extra $5. These play your voice part with the other parts and accompaniment in the background and make the music much easier to learn.

There will be seats available for supporters to be in the audience for the performance only for $5.00.

Because of the popularity of this work, we anticipate that all of the available places will be taken up before bookings close. Therefore, if you wish to sing with us, it is essential to book in advance to reserve your seat. We are limited, by our venue and by our catering facilities, to a fixed number of participants. When we reach this number we will reluctantly have to decline further acceptances.
