Harlow Singers

Christmas 2024

The concert is on Sunday 8th of December 2024 at St. Mary's Church in Churchgate Street, CM17 0JT. Please arrive by 1:15pm so we can start rehearsal at 1:30pm.

Dress code is black below the waist (trousers or skirts) and white above the waist (shirts or blouses). Red scarfs for the women and red bow ties for the men will be provided. As will black folders to hold our music, if you don't already have one.

 

Below is the running order for the concert.

Rehearsal tracks are mp3's for individual parts. Sheet music is as close as I can make an exact copy of what we have been provided. If you are happy and confident with your part, I would encourage you to ignore my sheet music, but it exists if you want it.
