Step into the enchanting world of Tudor and Renaissance music with the Tudor Choristers' open rehearsals. This is a wonderful opportunity for capable singers to join a welcoming community choir as they prepare their upcoming concert program, 'Winter is icumen in'. Expect a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where you can meet fellow singers and the music director.
The rehearsals focus on themes of winter, change, and the turning of the seasons, exploring music that reflects transformation, stillness, and renewal. Inspired by the medieval song 'Sumer is icumen in', the program playfully embraces the colder season with rich musical and symbolic ideas.
Whether you are an experienced sight-reader or enjoy singing 4-part harmony, these rehearsals offer a chance to engage deeply with beautiful choral repertoire in a small ensemble setting.
The open rehearsals take place on two consecutive Wednesdays: 15 April and 22 April 2026, from 19:30 to 22:00. Each session provides a relaxed environment to explore the repertoire and prepare for upcoming performances.
Participants should be fairly confident sight-readers and comfortable singing 4-part harmony. The focus is on Tudor and Renaissance music, so an interest in this genre will enhance your experience.
This community-run event is free to attend, making it an accessible way to enjoy and participate in choral music.
The rehearsals are held at Auburn Uniting Church, located at 79A-81 Oxley Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122. The venue is easily accessible and offers a welcoming space for community music-making.
Hawthorn is well-served by public transport and has parking options nearby, making it convenient for families and individuals coming from surrounding areas.
The church setting provides excellent acoustics and a comfortable environment for singers of all levels.
