Back rehearsing for our Autumn season 'in the flesh' - there's a picture.
NEXT OXSHOTT REHEARSAL . . .
. . Wednesday, October 20th 7.55pm
LHMF Come & Sing . . .
. . Verdi's Requiem, in the Dorking Halls,
RH4 1SG,
on Saturday October 16th. For the latest information, visit the LHMF website.
Our next concert . . .
. . will, we hope, be our 2021 Christmas concert, in a venue yet to be decided,
on Sunday December 5th. We will be singing excerpts from Handel's Messiah, and a selection of Christmas music old and new. Quite possibly the interval will not be enlivened by the customary wine and hot mince pies and sausage rolls.
Our last concert . . .
. . was our 2019 Christmas concert, in St Andrew's Church, Oxshott,
KT22 0LE,
on Saturday December 14th. We sang J S Bach's Magnificat in D, and a selection of Christmas music old and new, and in the interval there was the usual irresistible allure of wine and hot mince pies and sausage rolls. Our chosen charity was Elmbridge Community Link.

The 2022 Leith Hill Musical Festival . . .
. . is likely to take place with a slightly different format, due to the uncertainty over the resumption of choral activities.

The 2021 Leith Hill Musical Festival . . .
. . was unfortunately cancelled. It would have been Jonathan Willcocks' fifth festival as conductor.
