Accompanist

Guilsfield Singers are a friendly, mixed choir of some 40 – 50 people who meets Thursday evenings at the Old School in Guilsfield, a large village between Welshpool and Oswestry. Our previous accompanist, Paul Wardell, is now the choir’s Musical Director, hence the vacancy. The choir usually gives 4 – 6 performances a year, in Welshpool, Guilsfield, and the surrounding area. Concerts in 2017  included Stainer’s Daughter of Jairus,– one of a handful of performances since 1912 – a supper concert in July at Guilsfield Community Centre, a concert at Montgomery in October, a slot at the Llanwddyn Folk Festival, and finishing off with a carol concert at Guilsfield. This year’s spring concert includes Rutter’s Magnificat.

The choir’s repertoire includes music from the 16th to 21st centuries, sacred and secular, serious and lighthearted;  folk songs and spirituals, cantatas and carols, requiems, and medleys from musicals.
