(NEW) Summer Concert 2013
The summer concert in Barnhill on Saturday 15th June at 7pm will be a slightly shorter programme of mainly acapella double-choir music. The order can be found here. Music will be provided via the choral society and will be available in printed booklets from the beginning of next term. Please bring a small amount of cash to the first rehearsal back at Barnhill on Tuesday 19th March when we will be back to the usual time of 7:45pm - 9:45pm.

Cyberbass - Spring 2013 Repertoire (and links to other useful sites)
Cyberbass is a free online resource that allows you to listen to individual voice parts of major choral works. You could also try Saffron Choral Prompt and ChoralLine, they are both extremely useful but please note that the resources they provide are not free to use and Stamford Choral cannot provide funding for the use of these sites. There is another online resource used by the school which offers sound files in a variety of formats.

From September 2012, all new and prospective members of Stamford Choral will be asked to undertake a Voice Placement test within three or four weeks of joining. Explanatory notes and the list of requirements can be found here.
