\"\"<\/a>The Samuel Chorus began as a group of friends singing Christmas carols in December 2004, and have grown since then. They\u00a0number 25-30 folk, from quite a wide geographical radius, and rehearse in the Baptist Hall, Bright St. Lochee, Dundee, on Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm.<\/p>\n

They perform twice a year (late April and early December) and their proceeds are shared with a charity (usually the choice of their host church\/venue).
\nThey sing quite challenging classical music, covering about 6 centuries.<\/p>\n

This year, they will be including 2 Russian items, and some Renaissance music in Latin, and compositions in other European languages. \u00a0In their last concert, they sang several Bruckner motets, and a Te Deum by Haydn, plus a flute sonata and some operatic solos and duets, utilising the talents of their members.<\/p>\n

They are a very friendly group who enjoy singing together and welcome new singers!<\/p>\n
