Ramsbottom Choral Society & Orchestra

Andantino Singers

A vacancy exists within the Andantino Singers for a Tenor, and this is open to singers with appropriate experience who have done choral singing in a similar type of choir.

The Andantino Singers are a small SATB choir with 14 members all of whom sing to a high standard, and have quite a wide repertoire of music, ranging from choral arrangements of songs from the shows, popular songs and jazz standards, secular and religious classical music, modern Christmas Carols, right through to English Madrigals.
 
A large proportion of the Andantino Singers are drawn from the main Ramsbottom Choral Society choir, and it is quite advantageous (though not mandatory) to be a member of this, because the Andantino Singers perform at least two concerts each year with the main choir, as well as performing concerts independently or else in conjunction with other groups such as Tooti Flooti.

Within the group there are accomplished soloists and there are many opportunities within our concerts for solo performances.

The group meets for rehearsals on Tuesday evenings usually less than 20 times each year, arranged at appropriate dates to match the years concert engagements, which are typically up to 5 concerts in a year.
