The next time you can hear us sing is on
November 10th 2012 in St John's Episcopal Church in Dumfries when we bring our 2012 season to a close with a Remembrance themed Choral Evensong, but hot off the press this weekend the 2013 season for
RSCM Scottish Voices has now been announced.
We start the year on
Saturday February 2nd in St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow, home church of our Musical Director Frikki Walker and several of our choir, where we shall be taking part in a Choral Mass for Candlemas at 4.30pm.
On
Saturday 9th March we will be making a first visit to the university town of
St Andrews, where we will be
singing Choral Evensong in
Holy Trinity Parish Church, which in the past has been host to concerts by
The Sixteen and
The Tallis Scholars.
Saturday 27th April sees us helping celebrate the 850th anniversary year of the founding of
Paisley Abbey, with our first visit to sing in that historic building.
In
June we
will be singing somewhere, but the exact date and the venue is still in negotiation, so watch this space!
Friday August 2nd to Sunday August 4th* will be our annual residential rehearsal weekend, venue to be decided but it features no public performance so the finer details may well not be publicised here.
* please note this is a date change from that first posted here (updated 13/10/2012)
Our stretching of the Scottish geographic boundaries continues on
Saturday 14th September when we pay a first visit to sing Choral Evensong in
St Andrew's Episcopal Cathedral in Inverness.
As well as the 850th anniversary of Paisley Abbey, the year 2013 is the centenary of the Carnegie Trust undertaking the first ever publishing of Tudor Church Music, and we're delighted to be able to help them celebrate this auspicious occasion by singing Tudor music for them on
Saturday 12th October. The venue is still to be finalised, but we're hopeful it'll involve singing in a suitably old abbey, cathedral or church.
Our 2013 season comes to a close with a return visit to the outstanding acoustic of
St Aloysius' RC Church in Glasgow, where although the details of the service have still to be discussed we
hope to take part in their regular Vigil Mass on
Saturday 23rd November.
Full details, including music lists of all of the above will be announced here as and when information becomes available, and on a rolling basis our
Future Services and Events page will be updated.
