Christmas is on the way - like it or not!

Well, there is no snow as of this writing, however, definitely cold has settled over Southwestern Ontario.  Luckily it hasn't dampened the Fagan Singers enthusiasm for the next concert - Christmas in Canada!

The beautiful chapel at Winderemere on the Mount, which is affectionately known as "home" to the Singers, is once again the location for this annual concert of song and spoken word. 

Special thanks goes to Ellison Travel and Tours and Windermere on the Mount as corporate sponsors for this event!  We all look forward to seeing you there.

Get your Popcorn...Peanuts....oops.... I mean CDs!!!

November 6th, 2010 is definitely a day (actually evening) not to be missed!  Where else could you possibly want to be, if you aren't at Centennial Hall ?  Not only will you be thrilled with the delicious sounds of Fanshawe Chorus London and the Gerald Fagan Singers, but you will be equally exhilerated with Leslie Fagan's stratospheric voice, as she sings the Soprano solo in Poulenc's Gloria, and teases the audience with a small selection from the Mozart. (one of the CD's in the set)

The BEST part of the night?  You will be able to purchase a three CD box set for just $30.....I know my math, and at $10/CD, I don't think there is a better and more economical Christmas present out there for your friends and family.

For tickets or more information, contact the Fanshawe Chorus Box office at 519-433-9650 or check out the web page!

...updating...

It has been a busy few weeks .... singing a Bach's 79th Cantata with the South Huron Community Choir was a highlight, during the Annual Exeter Community Thanksgiving Event.  (Sorry, I don't have any pictures...yet)

Currently,  we continue to rehearse for our next runout concert on October 17th in London at Trinity United Church on Hale Street in London.  This does promise to be a fantastic afternoon of wonderful music where you will hear everything from Bach to some of our favourite Cabaret classics.

Of course, November 6th will be the launch of our much worked on Compact Disc set!  We actually got to hear an exciting snippet of the disc last Wednesday - and I am thrilled to say that I will be one of the first in line to get my copy!  Stand back!

Four Weddings & A Funeral? NO! Two Tenors & An Accordian!

Fundraising begins today....and off to Hessenland we go for an evening of socializing with friends and listening to the wonderful sounds of Il Solo Duo.  I am in for a treat!  I don't recall ever seeing anyone play the accordian as beautifully as Andrea Pireddu, and I love listening to the vocal stylings of Jason Kehler.

Fundraising? For the Fagan Singers?  Not directly, however, this is the beginning of the fundraising for the Bach Festival of Canada (to be held in Exeter, Ontario in the summer of 2011) of which the Fagan Singers will be the Choir in Residence. 

If you ever get the chance to hear Andrea and Jason....don't miss it! 

The Season

The season has started  - early, I might add - but what a season we have in store.  Our first official concert is not until November 6th ... but the first "run-out" concert of the season is September 26th.  (Just around the corner) We will be singing with the Community Choir at Trivett Memorial Church in Exeter - as part of their Community Thanksgiving Celebrations.

2010/2011 Season Begins

This is a first - The Gerald Fagan Singers Blog Page! Am I excited? Absolutely!
