Performances
The Choir performs several concerts every year. These vary from light programmes to some very substantial classical
works -- Handel - 'Messiah', Britten - 'Rejoice in the lamb' Fauré - 'Requiem',- to
name some of our most recent concerts.
The Choir can be hired to sing at weddings.
Under the baton of Paul Stanley, the Brixi Singers perform at a wedding
The Repertoire
New for this season:- Fawcett's
'Paradise' - this will be the first time this delightful oratorio has been performed this millenium. Fawcett was a
Bolton composer and we think it apt that Brixi perform this in October 2010.

A medley of songs from 'Phantom of the Opera'
Lux Arumque - Eric Whitacre.
Chivalite imya Gospodne
- Dobri Christov
Heruvimska pesen - Dobri Hristov.

Choir news: At
the AGM held in September, there was a change in personnel on the committee. We thank our retiring officers for their hard
work over the year(s), and wish the new incumbents a successful year
We are now looking at bookings for 2010.
Our Christmas concert at Rivington was extremely well
received. We performed two newly written carols. It was particularly poignant as both composers were in the audience.
Sadly we had to say goodbye to Susie Lindley who has been a member of Brixi for the last 9 years. Her sultry voice,
particularly in the spiritual songs, will be missed. She has also worked hard in the publicity department designing several
of our concert posters. She is moving on to pastures new and we wish her well.
We welcome Suzanne Marsh to our soprano section. Suzanne is a singing teacher in Bolton. She trained at the Birmingham Conservatoire.
We hope she will be with us for many years
Cath Robbins decided to leave Brixi for pastures new.. She sang
with us in our June concert for the last time. We wish her well and hope she enjoys everything she does in the future.
