CALLING all singers from Perth and Kinross!
BBC Scotland is giving some 200 aspiring singers the opportunity to appear on stage with opera diva Lesley Garrett as part of the celebrations of the Last Night of the Proms in Dundee.
The particularly created Dundee Proms Chorus will be one of the highlights of the event in the Caird Hall on September 11, alongside Lesley Garret and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Broadcast live on TV and recorded for BBC Radio, this all new home grown choir will perform songs from some classic musicals and showpieces from some of the great operas and will lead the audience in a link nup to the Royal Albert Hall live on BBC 1, and other venues across the UK.
For those who would like to be part of the Dundee Proms Chorus, BBC Scotland is running a series of fun workshops, open to all aspiring singers over the age of 16.
Led by choir trainer Anna Flannagan, there will be six rehearsal sessions leading up to the big night, as well as a full dress rehearsal with the orchestra and company.
No previous experience of singing is required and all the songs will be taught by ear for those who can’t read music. All interested applicants should contact dundeepromschorus@bbc.co.uk or write to Proms Chorus Administrator, Zone 3.08, BBC Scotland, 40 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1DA. Applications must be received before Friday, July 30.
This is the first time that the Proms have visited Dundee, bringing some of the magic associated with the Last Night, but with a distinctly Scottish flavour. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra provides the musical backbone for the night, providing accompaniment to one of Britain’s most popular classical singers, soprano Lesley Garrett, conducted by Scottish conductor Garry Walker.
Tickets for the event are now available, and to bring the real bohemian spirit of the Proms to Dundee, there will be a choice of standing ‘promenade’ tickets in the stalls area with a limited number of seated tickets in the balcony.
