Less than a week now until our annual concert which this year will be at Mary’s church Kidderminster. As well as ourselves we are excited about being joined by two very special local guest artists!

Luke Swatman was nicknamed the ‘Worcester Pavarotti’ after his appearance on the TV show the Voice and will be singing a mixture of classical aria’s and songs from musical theatre. Our second guest is pianist, conductor and composer Tony Bridgewater who will entertain the audience with works from composers such as Liszt, Schubert and Beethoven.

It’s not too late to get your tickets from our usual sources or via Eventbright!

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday evening (20th) doors open at 7pm.

Our concert is nearly here!

Singing together again

7th May 2021News and ReviewsChoir, Concerts, Kidderminster, Kidderminster Valentines, Rehearsals, ZoomCarol Woolley

Many of you will know that the Valentines have been holding online rehearsals via Zoom during the last year due to the pandemic.

We are pleased to announce that after having our hopes dashed in May, physical rehearsals will resume on July 22nd with small groups socially distanced, supported for a while by a continuation of our online practice.

We are looking forward to getting back to regular singing together without the need for a ‘mute’ button, and preparing for our next concert.

We already have some provisional concert dates pencilled in so please pop them into your diary. More information about how to obtain tickets will be shared via our website and social media pages nearer the time.

Provisional dates so far:

Saturday 13th November 2021 Kidderminster Town Hall

Saturday 4th December 2021 At Anne’s church Bewdley

Saturday 9th April 2022 Kidderminster Town Hall

We are also opening the choir to new members. If you would like to join us, whether you are new to singing or would like to start singing again, then please get in touch. All our details can be found on our website.
