Singers are needed to stretch their vocal chords and take part in an autumn performance.

Rehearsals are due to start on Monday, September 13, for Poulenc’s Gloria and Coleridge-Taylor’s Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast.

The piece will be performed at St Mary’s Church, Horsefair, Banbury, on Saturday, November 13, at 7.30pm.

Planned for the spring is a performance of The Dream of Gerontius by Elgar.

Spokesman Michele Hunter, of Banbury Choral Society, said: “Singers of all vocal ranges are very welcome and there will be no voice tests, but it is necessary to have a love of choral singing.”

Rehearsals start on Monday, September 13, at the Marlborough Road Methodist Church, and any newcomers should turn up at 7pm.
