HASTINGS PHILHARMONIC CHOIR
Ever sung in a choir?  It's a great way to get to know people! Hastings Philharmonic Choir is looking for singers to join them in a concert of Beethoven's 9th choral symphony with full orchestra on 12th November at White Rock Theatre. This (Ode to Joy) has been adopted as a European anthem. The concert commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme and celebrates European friendship, cooperation and peace. The concert also includes singing a 'prayer for the departed' called the Russian Kontakion. High voice tenors and sopranos especially welcome. Rehearsal evenings in the Tabernacle (opposite ESK) are on Wednesdays and/or Fridays.
