***********************************
“TCS, like all choirs in the UK, has spent very little time together over the past 12 months and this has been difficult on many levels. One of those levels is that we have been unable to be together to mourn the loss of three of our wonderful basses over the past six months. We have been deeply saddened by the loss of Adrian, Irvin, Nigel and Peter. These generous, talented, community minded men who brought to our choir not only their wonderful voices but their friendship. We will definitely miss their voices when we sing together again and we will miss their company.
The following piece was recorded with the members of Cantanti Camerati of Richmond for Nigel’s funeral and we would like to share it
"Wie Lieblich, Brahms Requiem", February 2021

VIRTUAL CHRISTMAS CONCERT 2020
The traditional Christmas Concert was not possible, but here is the performance:
***********************************
BRAHMS REQUIEM IN GERMAN October 19th, 2020
To celebrate managing seven weeks of weekly live singing during Covid restrictions, Teddington Choral Society is delighted to present some snippets of one of their groups performing a staged rehearsal of A German Requiem by Brahms. We have had two groups attending weekly live rehearsals under strict Covid-19 restrictions and have had another group at home participating in the rehearsals via live-stream. All groups have been working hard and whilst we can’t wait until it is safe for us to all sing together again, we are happy that we are managing to keep our choral community together. Huge thanks to our Musical Director, Julian Collings, and our accompanist, Phil Culling as well as our committee for all the hard work they’ve put into making our rehearsals work. Thanks to Seamus for editing & assisting with the recording of this particular rehearsal. If you are interested in viewing the whole recording please contact us and we will supply you with a link.
