The Choir Committee

Chair

 Judy Moorhouse OBE

Judy is performing an encore, having returned to the role of Chair in 2022 following the sad and sudden death of our previous Chair, Janet Hall. Judy pulls together lots of musical strings in Richmond, having additionally, roles in Richmondshire Concert Series and Richmond MayFest as well as singing in Station Singers.

 

 

Secretary 

  David Boath 

   David, an anchor in the bass section, took on the role of Secretary in the 2024-5 season...

 

Treasurer

 David Barraclough

This is David's second session as Treasurer. He is a member of the Tenor section in the choir so of double value to the choir.

 

 

 

 

Librarian

Mark Harrison

It is Mark's job to source and hire music for choir members and to buy it in when enough members wish to purchase their own copy.

He is also a talented musician and composer and the choir has sung some of his music in its Christmas concerts.

 

 

Membership Secretary

Marian Gennever

Marian keeps the membership records and ensures that we have contact details, subs and Gift Aid declarations, where appropriate, from everyone.  You will usually be greeted at the rehearsal signing-in desk by Marian and she will help new members to settle in.

 

 

 

Publicity and Website 

Merrin Froggett

Merrin looks after publicity for the choir and produces publicity materials. She has recently taken on the website role. Having joined the choir as an alto in 2017 she moved into the tenor section when it needed extra voices and is surpised to find that she can go that low.

 

 

 

Tickets and Programmes

Kay Marriott

Kay manages the tickets for concerts and also prepares the concert programmes. Kay still sings as an alto with Doncaster Choral Society but bolsters our tenor section when it needs extra voices.

 

 

 

Alto Rep and Social Media

Judy Weeks

Judy was co-opted onto the Committee during the Covid-19 pandemic when we were unable to meet and hold our normal AGM. She took on the role of Covid Coordinator and keeps a check on the current situation. 

Judy has also taken on editorship of the choir's Facebook page.

 

 

Mary Branigan

Mary Branigan has stepped  down from the Secretary's role but remains on the Committee as a source of continuity. 

 

 

 

 

Soprano Rep

  Jan Beeton 

  When Jan isn't on her travels she sings with the sopranos and St Mary's Church Choir.  As    the former Membership Secretary Jan knows everyone and adds colour with her scarves.

 

 

 

Featured Event

Our next concert on Saturday 7th December. The choir is looking forward to performing under the baton of our new musical director Ben Noble and invite you to join us in a Christmas Concert with a difference. For many people Christmas is as much a time of remembrance as celebration or feasting and we begin with the Faure Requiem which Faure himself described as 'a lullaby of death'. This well known, serene and beautiful work will be followed by Christmas music and carols which sustain the peaceful and contemplative nature of the concert. The wonderful accoustics of St Mary's Church are made for evenings like this.

We look forward to seeing you at St Mary's Church, Richmond.
