Bath Minerva Choir

Bath Minerva Choir A non-auditioning choir in Bath with high performance standards.

We are a choir that welcomes all singers without auditioning, from the less confident to the highly experienced. We have over 140 members currently and we perform a wide range of choral music to the highest standards, usually with professional orchestra and soloists, and in beautiful settings such as Bath Abbey. Our music director, Gavin Carr, is also chorus master of the Bournemouth Symphony Chor

The Minnesota Orchestra has changed the program for its concerts on 30 and 31 January in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

In a statement on their website and social media, the orchestra wrote, “In light of what’s happening in our community right now, this weekend’s program will open with the Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, instead of Dukas’s ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.’ We offer it in memorial for Alex Pretti and Renee Good—and we share it with love for our audience and our beautiful city on a program that explores the resilience of finding ‘songs to sing’ amidst tragedy and seeking hope in darkness.”

The rest of the program is unchanged, and includes the US premiere of Donghoon Shin’s ‘Threadsuns’ Concerto for Viola and Orchestra, featuring Principal Viola Rebecca Albers. Conductor Fabien Gabel will lead the concerts.

The program will be streamed free of charge on the orchestra’s YouTube channel tonight (30 January) at 8pm CST.
