After much discussion and consideration of the options open to the choir and consequences of cancellation the committee has very reluctantly decided that the most responsible, practicable and sensible decision is to CANCEL the rehearsal's scheduled 2nd and 4th December and also the Concert itself scheduled for Saturday 4th December.
The next rehearsal is now Monday 13th December - unless you hear to the contrary, keep an eye out for further posts - for the St Matthew Passion.
We are obviously all going to be disappointed, but the committee feel the decision is in the best interests of the personal safety and welfare of choir, orchestra members, staff of St Cuthbert's and of course our loyal supporters.
Please could choir members advise any family and friends to whom you sold tickets to avoid those individuals turning up at St Cuthbert's for the concert!
Many thanks.
