In May, Ayr Choral launched three virtual rehearsals online, using Zoom, attended by over 100 singers and led by their enthusiastic and ingenious Musical Director Andrew McTaggart.

Ayr Choral will be continuing to hold online rehearsals for the first part of Season 2020-21. The ongoing effects and restrictions of COVID-19 mean that the best option is to continue to rehearse and perform online – meeting the needs of members, and strengthening the singing community wherever people are - until circumstances allow them to sing together and perform safely.

They would also warmly welcome any guest singers, who can find information and application forms on www.ayrchoral union.net to access rehearsals and resources. The cost of £35 for guests includes eight rehearsals, a music pack, access to training tracks and coaching with professional singers.

Online Zoom rehearsals will be on Tuesday evenings at 7.30 pm starting on August 25. Ayr Choral members will receive all the necessary information, with a special (non-virtual) pack of music and rehearsal support materials. Help and advice will be available for using Zoom confidently.
