Our next concert will be on Saturday 4th July, and will have an appropriately American theme. It's entitled "Stars and Stripes" and will be a celebration of music from the USA. The programme will include traditional and modern spirituals, as well as songs from top shows like Fiddler on the Roof.

There's a change from our normal venue: this time we'll be at the village hall in Tutbury. The evening starts at 7.30, and all tickets are priced at £10 - to include buffet and wine.

Please purchase them in advance if you can, so we can have a good idea of numbers for catering. Tickets are available from Starbucks or from choir members.
