Birmingham Bach Choir is on the lookout for new talent from across Birmingham

One of the country’s foremost large chamber choirs, the group are on the hunt for local tenors to swell their ranks.

Choir Chairman Jonathan Spencer said: “We’re looking for good voices within the tenor range. Maybe they haven’t sung in a choir for some time, are new to the area, or would like a new challenge? Perhaps they’ve sung with a big choral societies and would like to try out the more intimate chamber choir experience? We’d love to hear from anyone who is interested.”

Would-be tenors are invited to attend an open rehearsal of JS Bach’s Christmas Oratorio on Wednesday 7 November 2012, from 7.15pm, in Edgbaston, Birmingham. Music will be provided. For more information and to book a place, please call Hilary on 01562 884821.
