Geraldine is a gospel singer and choir director who has sung for thousands around the world. She has performed at Abbey Road studios and Spring Harvest as well as releasing 5 solo albums and contributing to many more. She has also appeared numerous times on Songs of Praise.
Geraldine will be running a gospel choir workshop from 2-4pm which will be great fun and is open to anybody, no matter what their singing experience or ability. She will then be performing in the evening at 7:30pm and this concert will feature the gospel choir performing some of the songs they learned in the afternoon!

Hallelujah Chorus from scratch
On Saturday December 5th All Saints Church, Wellington is hosting a ‘Hallelujah Chorus from scratch’ afternoon from 2-4pm to raise money for Children in Need. This is part of the BBC’s ‘Sing Hallelujah’ project . We hope to fill the Church with as many people as possible, and rehearse and perform the Hallelujah Chorus together. The aim of the event is to have fun singing and to raise some money for Children in Need.
‘Sing Hallelujah’ is a nationwide project from the BBC encouraging choirs to perform Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer’s death. During November and December 2009 there will be over 350 performances of the Hallelujah Chorus taking place around the country. For more information see www.bbc.co.uk/sing/hallelujah.
The event on December 5th is free entry and everyone is welcome regardless of whether or not you have sung in a choir before. It will be a fun afternoon of singing and we will aim to do the final performance at around 3:45pm for anyone who would like to come and listen. We will be raising money for Children in need and will be collecting donations on the day.

letter to choirs re. Hallelujah Chorus from scratch
Here is the text of the email we’ve just sent to 16 local choirs with more details about the ‘Hallelujah Chorus from scratch’ event on December 5th:
* * * * *
Dear …,
My name is Richard Clarkson and I am the Music Outreach Minister at All Saints Church in Wellington. I am writing to let you know about an event that we have coming up which I hope you’ll be able to support.
On December 5th we are holding a “Hallelujah Chorus from scratch” afternoon (2-4pm) to raise money for Children In Need. This is part of the BBC’s ‘Sing Hallelujah’ project (www.bbc.co.uk/sing/hallelujah). The aim is to fill the Church with as many people as possible, from experienced singers to complete beginners, and rehearse and perform the Hallelujah Chorus together. We will not be performing to an audience, just to each other – the aim of the event is to have fun singing and to raise some money for Children in Need.
We’d love for your choir members to come to this and I was wondering if you would be able to help us promote it to them and to any other followers of your choir. I will send you some flyers and posters in the next few weeks which I would be grateful if you could distribute. We are more than happy for you to bring along any information on joining your choir or forthcoming concerts that you would like to promote.
I would also like to let you know that we host concerts regularly at All Saints and if you would like to come and perform here we would love to have you. The Church is a beautiful building built in 1790 and can seat around 400 people. It has a large stage area and very nice acoustics which suit choral groups very well. If you would like more information please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Many thanks,
Richard Clarkson
