Dear Choir Member
Thank you for your support to the Guildford Philharmonic Choir.

Please find enclosed your Chairman's letter, Neville's rehearsal schedule for
the
forthcoming season, concert brochure and envelope for your Treasurer, Christopher
Robinson - only for use if you are not covenanting your subscription.

The choir has a very full programme next season for the 50th anniversary celebration
s:10 December 1994

4 March 1994

Christmas Oratorio/Bach

:

Prometheus/Scriabin
Te Deum/Berlioz
The Apostles/Elgar

5 May 1994
plus Carols

Neville Creed

Te Deum/Verdi

(4 December)

Brian Wright
Vernon Handley

— Choral Workshop (28 January 1995) and Summer concert/tba.

I hope that you will support the concerts outside the choral series - in particular
Sir Alexander Gibson's first concert as our Principal Conductor when he conducts
Sibelius's 5th Symphony (Sunday 25 September at 3.00.pm)

In looking at ways to increase our audience it seems amazing, but if every
member
of the Guildford Philharmonic Society and Choir sold just two tickets for one
of
our 12 concerts, the increased ticket income would go a long way to funding a concert!
I'm sure there are people who would like to come to concerts if they could
be
ccllected from and returned to their homes.
Ideally, we would like to identify
pctential season ticket holders so that we can organize minibus
routes, but it
may be possible to accommodate those wishing to attend single concerts.
If you
know anyone, please call us on 0483 444666 and we'll add names to the list.

Finally,

if you can display a poster - A2 or A4 - we will gladly send one to

you.

With very best wishes
Yours sincerely
