The YETHOLM VILLAGE CHOIR
was created by Margaret Rustad in 2011 in order to sing at a village function.
The idea proved popular, and now the choir continues and flourishes.
We rehearse at 10.30 most Wednesday mornings in the
Yetholm Youth Hall, next to Valley Meats (use it or lose it !)
Why not join us ? You’ll be made very welcome.
The Yetholm Village Choir gave a successful summer concert in St Andrew’s
church, Kelso on Sunday July 3rd. It was a very happy evening, although tinged with some regret as it was the last under the leadership of Geoffrey Emerson, conductor for the past eleven years.
The choir will resume activities at 10.30 am on Wednesday, August 31st, still in the church - in Kirk Yetholm - until the Youth Hall is again available.
As always, new members will be made very welcome (there are no auditions). If you can’t read music, helpful cds and learning lines are issued free. The choir currently numbers over 40 singers, and sings a wide variety of music. Singing has been proved scientifically to be GOOD for you in many ways - mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, etc. Need I go on? Why don’t you give it a try!
The new conductor will be Marion Scammell who has recently come to live nearby.
She has had years of experience, having taught in Aberdeen and at Gordonstoun, and most recently conducted a large choir in Banff. Geoffrey says he's sure that she will suit the choir very well.
