Calling all Artists

ARTISTS INVITED TO DISPLAY WORK AT

SHREWSBURY’S QUARRY

Local artists are invited to take part in a series of outdoor exhibitions at Shrewsbury’s Quarry.

 

The exhibition scheme, run by Shrewsbury Town Council, will run each Sunday from May 13 to September 2, from 2.30pm until 5.30pm, excluding July 8 (Quarry Concert weekend) and August 12 (Shrewsbury Flower Show).

 

Demonstrations and paintings can be displayed around the perimeter of the Dingle, which is a popular tourist attraction during the summer and is an ideal backdrop for displays.

 

Sale of artwork is also permitted.

 

Artists can display their work free of charge and can simply turn up on the day, however spaces cannot be guaranteed and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

 

Cars are not permitted on site so artists should make alternative arrangements for getting items into the Quarry. Special permits may be granted, depending on circumstances, and can be requested from the Town Council.

 

Invitation to join the massed choir for the Oslympics

Following the competition that we ran last year, a local composer, Julian Cattley, has written a choral Anthem especially for the Oswestry Games.  He is now inviting local singers to join a Mass Choir to perform the anthem at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Oswestry Games.

OSWESTRY OLYMPIC GAMES - INVITATION TO JOIN THE MASS CHOIR

I would like to invite anyone with some experience of singing to join in our local Olympic celebrations by performing a brand new anthem as part of a mass choir. The work ‘Oswestry’ has been specially composed for the event and the aim is to encourage as many singers to get involved as possible.

The piece is written for a full four part choir and will be accompanied by Porthywaen Silver Band.  All rehearsals will take place at Porthywaen band hall {just outside Oswestry}.

Rehearsals will be directed by Janet Brown a music teacher and director of the choir at Morton church and Julian Cattley director of music at Oswestry School and composer of the anthem.

Joining the choir

We are looking for singers: Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Basses and would welcome individuals as much as whole ensembles should they wish to join us. We are endeavouring to contact as many local groups as possible but please pass this information on if you are reading this and feel someone else should know and I will happily discuss arrangements further with any interested parties.

Although we would like this activity to be available to all our community we must ask that any children {under 18} are accompanied by an adult as this is a public event. If there are groups {e.g. a school choir} that wish to attend then please get in touch but again we would expect your own organisation to arrange appropriate supervision. We also need to ensure a reasonable balance is kept between parts so once rehearsals have started we reserve the right to refuse new members if we cannot accommodate any further singers in any particular section of voices.

Scores will be provided and electronic copies can also be sent out by e-mail on request.

I very much look forward to seeing as many singers as possible as we celebrate this inspirational sporting and cultural event bringing our community together.

Kindest regards

Julian Cattley -jcatmusic@virginmedia.com
