Happy School Holidays everyone! Just a quick reminder that we have lots of podcasts for you to listen to when you have a moment...this week's is a review of our stellar summer term fairhavensingers.org.uk/series/blog/
Our summer concert was a triumph, you should have been there! Tomorrow we look forward to even more wonderful tunes coming up in November. fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
Phew, what a scorcher! We still plan to go ahead with our concerts this weekend ATM, but fans and water might make tonight’s rehearsal more comfortable! fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
Hot, isn’t it. Come to our summer concert and hear us sing about rain - that’ll help! fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
We've been on a #Britten kick recently, so sit back, pour a cool drink and listen to @RalphWoodward2 talk about the dances from Gloriana on this week's podcast...https://fairhavensingers.org.uk/series/blog/
Hot weekend coming up? Chill out with a cool drink and a cool podcast from our MD @RalphWoodward2 ! This week on elitism...listen here: fairhavensingers.org.uk/series/blog/
Well the summer music is coming on nicely, just fitting well with this lovely weather we’ve been having. If it rains, we’ve got something for that too…
Back from the Easter break and working on some Byrd. Q: if Byrd were a bird, what kind of bird would Byrd be?…
Enormous thanks to all the performers and audience from yesterday's spectacular War Requiem at Ely Cathedral. No wonder @ralphwoodward.bsky.social's feet were aching!
And the #WarRequiem sponsored walk begins… www.gofundme.com/f/sponsored-...
Today's #Podcast centres on highlights of #Britten's #WarRequiem involving @RalphWoodward2, some Exciting Moments and a squeaky piano stool...
First frost of the year here in Cambridge adding that little bit of sparkle to our Christmas concert preparations. You don’t want to miss this so get your tickets ASAP - we *will* sell out! fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
It’s nearly half term which means our November concert is fast approaching. You need to step on it for tickets as they’re selling like hot cakes! fairhavensingers.org.uk/event/novemb...
Always a fun time of year when our prospective #ChoralScholars come and try us out. They’ll get to sing the War Requiem in Ely Cathedral in March - not bad, eh?
We’re wondering which section Britten was thinking of when he scored this. Rumour has it that it’s the second tenors… #WeCouldntPossiblyComment #SillyFellows!
It was a great year and some wonderful music. Now a summer break and then THIS!!!!
Our summer concert was a blast (you should have been there) but tomorrow our attention turns to the autumn and a really sexy programme of thought-provoking music. The poster's not bad either! fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
Lovely evening for a rehearsal at Trinity College tonight as Queens' is busy. Some people will stay on to watch fireworks later. All part of the magic of Cambridge in summer...
Need something to listen to as you get ready for the weekend? Our #Podcast is ready to fill your ears whilst you scrub the BBQ… fairhavensingers.org.uk/series/blog/
Half term is but a memory, so time to RUSH to get tickets for the summer concerts. They *will* sell out (fingers crossed)… fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
And if you can't wait until Saturday, you can hear all about MD Ralph's recent adventures on the fields of the Battle of Dettingen in the #Podcast : fairhavensingers.org.uk/series/blog/ @ralphwoodward.bsky.social
Final rehearsal at Queens’ before we transfer to Trinity and the concert….tickets still available here fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
We’re back and refreshed from our half term break and the music is sounding great. Make sure you get your tickets soon for 29 March and you too can revel in some wonderful Haydn and Handel! fairhavensingers.org.uk/buy/tickets/
Is our MD @ralphwoodward.bsky.social prepping for our Ask Me Anything podcast here? In all seriousness, he won’t get to see the questions first, so go wild! Send them in to newsletter@fairhavensingers.org.uk by Feb 10th.
Hey! On our podcast we're going to give you the chance to ask our MD @ralphwoodward.bsky.social ANYTHING!! What have you always wanted to ask a conductor but have been too scared to ask? Send your question to newsletter@fairhavensingers.org.uk by Feb 10th to find out...
And just like that, it came and went and we were dazzling! Merry Christmas everyone and tune in next year for exciting adventures in 2025!
Last rehearsal before our concert, and all is very, very well. Trinity College Chapel is all Christmassy, and it feels like there might be snow in the air - there was 2 years ago as we walked out of the concert!
Hey! Getting excited about our Christmas concert at the wonderful Trinity College Cambridge chapel in a week or so. For what it's worth, you won't lose at #Harkageddon if you come and hear us!
You may not know this about us yet, but we have a podcast! Ralph (our MD) curates it and we just did a little podcast in the pub post-rehearsal for a week or so’s time, talking about our move to Blue Sky. Get some back numbers here and subscribe…https://fairhavensingers.org.uk/series/blog/
