NOTICE OF CANCELLATION
We very much regret that Beethoven Missa Soleminis, on Saturday 7th November is cancelled due to illness. It's very disappointing but due to a number of singers being unavailable, we feel unable to proceed with the concert.
Our Hon. Treasurer will aim to contact you if you have bought tickets through ticketsource.
Thank you for your understanding and support; we are working on plans to re-schedule it in 2027 and look forward to seeing you.
After 15 years, Simon McEnery is stepping down from Directing the Salisbury Chamber Chorus and so we will be seeking a new Musical Director to begin in January 2027.
The Chorus rehearses in central Salisbury on a Wednesday evening and usually undertakes three concerts each year (each one repeated over two weekends). Rehearsals are organised on a termly basis with around 33 each year.
The successful candidate will have a sound knowledge of vocal technique and a broad taste in vocal repertoire. They will have a demonstrable skill in encouraging largely amateur singers to aspire to a near-professional quality performance, have a clear vision for our future and ideas on attracting the best amateur singers from across Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire.
The closing date is 30 June. Shortlisted candidates will then be asked to join us for an audition with the choir and an interview in early autumn. For further details about the post, please email Fiona Jackson,secretary@salisburychamberchorus.org
Introducing our new patron
We are delighted to welcome Rosalind Plowright, OBE as our new patron.
Internationally acclaimed for her powerful performances in leading roles with opera houses including Covent Garden, La Scala, and the Met, Rosalind has enjoyed a remarkable career spanning both soprano and mezzo-soprano repertoire.
Celebrated for her portrayals of Verdi and Puccini heroines, and honoured with an OBE in 2007, she brings exceptional artistry and inspiration to our choir.
