    Singers north of Stroud and Stroud itself will rehearse in Stonehouse on 4 Tuesdays.
    Singers south of Stroud will rehearse in Alveston on 4 Thursdays.
    These 8 rehearsals are for non-audition choir singers who need some extra rehearsals and also need introducing to the works.  

    There are 4 group rehearsals and 2 workshops as well as the final rehearsal when everyone is expected to attend.  Please see the attached rehearsal schedule for full details.

    Because of Berlioz not writing in altos we have a rather different rehearsal schedule this time.  Sopranos take the S1 part and altos take the S2 part.  All singers will be OK attending either Stonehouse or Alveston. 

    In the group rehearsals, we will be rehearsing with Choir 1 to the conductor's left and Choir 2 to his right.  Choir 1 is all sopranos, Tenor 1s and Bass 1s, Choir 2 is all altos, Tenor 2s and Bass 2s.

    We will do the Berlioz first in each rehearsal and in alternate weeks follow that with women first doing the Faure followed by men with the Brahms, vice-versa the other two weeks.
