Spokeswoman Marilyn Linehan said: “The Chorus is always looking for new members and each year holds an open rehearsal for anyone interested in coming along to sing for the evening and experience singing with a large symphony chorus.

“They’ll be rehearsing Faure’s beautiful Requiem, one of the most well-loved and beautiful pieces in the entire choral repertoire (scores provided). Those interested can then sign up for an audition to become a member.

“The open rehearsal is the BFC’s main annual recruitment event. However for the first time throughout its 2019-20 season the Chorus will also be welcoming visitors to come along to sing on the first Tuesday of each month, starting in November 2019. Anyone interested in trying the Chorus out is welcome to e-mail: [email protected] to register.”
