MUSIC

The 2021 - 22 Music Season at Tiffin is well underway, with rehearsals gracing every available slot of the school day. Our wonderful visiting instrumental teachers are all back in school, and this week have been introducing Year 7 to the various instruments they can learn at Tiffin. The Concert Band has made its first public appearance of the year at the Mayor ’ s Retirement Dinner and both the Chamber Choir and the Boys ’ Choir have already sung Evensong at St Luke ’ s Church. The Oratorio Choir met on Wednesday for the first time since 2019, and has begun to prepare for a performance of Faure ’ s Requiem at the annual Oratorio Concert on November 21st. We ’ re delighted to welcome a number of new parents to the choir, many of whom will be performing alongside their children. We have,

unfortunately, had to introduce a cap on numbers for the Oratorio Choir this year, but we hope to return to full size next Autumn. In the meantime, anyone who would like to join us for an afternoon of singing is encouraged to sign up to our Come & Sing event on Sunday 10th October, where we ’ ll be putting together an informal performance of Haydn ’ s The Creation over one afternoon. You can find more information, and sign up, here.
