Choir
After a summer break in July and August, the choir began rehearsing again on Monday September 7. It’s seeking to recruit new men and women singers.
This is a special year as it is Patrick Weber's last year as conductor. He will be retiring in July 2027. All rehearsals are open if you are considering joining. There are no auditions – the choir is for fun, free of charge and open to everyone, regardless of ability, to share the pleasure of singing together.
Rehearsals are held every Monday from 12 noon to 1pm in the CSE's communal hall (book and DVD library), building 6 – level 0.
Save the date! In 2027 we will be celebrating the choir's 30th anniversary (it was formed by Patrick Weber in May 1997): to mark the occasion, a special concert will be given in the CIS auditorium, most likely in May 2027. Further details will be provided in an upcoming BIP!
If you are interested and enjoy singing, feel free to come along to a rehearsal and/or contact Patrick Weber (pweber@pasteur.fr or ext. 3932).
