Children under 18 are free, and there is a £10 charge for adults (includes music hire and a ticket for the afternoon concert). The workshop is at St Mary’s Church, Thame, from 11.45 a.m. until 1.15 p.m. There will then be a break for lunch, followed by a rehearsal with Alexander’s band “Call Me Al” at 2 p.m. and the performance at 4.30 p.m. Statutory safeguarding for children will be in place throughout.

If you would like to join in, or would like more information, please let us know as soon as possible (so that we hire enough music!) by e-mail: [email protected] A talk by Alexander L’Estrange on “Wassail!” can be found on youtube – search “wassail alexander l’estrange”

Thank you to the Wichert choir for including our senior choir in their concert. It made for a very pleasant afternoon.

Apologies - the TCC2 website is down at the moment. It should be up and running again by 23.9.

LOVELY COMMENT FROM A CHOIR MEMBER'S MUM:
"TCC2 gave my children a rare and unique opportunity to sing songs and develop their musical experience in a way that they would not have been able to access anywhere else. They appreciated the high expectations that were expected of them and took pride in the quality of the singing that resulted and the opportunities to perform with Thame Chamber Choir. TCC2 is like no other children's choir that I have ever encountered and it was a privilege for my children to be among the founding members."

Thame Children's Choir commences rehearsals on Sunday 8th Sept at John Hampden school. Training choir 4 - 4:50 and seniors 430 - 6pm. Concert times with be posted when they are confirmed. See you on Sunday!

TCC2 will be singing in a wonderful concert this Saturday 16th March. Tickets on the door at £12 or £10 at The Book House, Thame.

Renaissance genius, Leonardo da Vinci imagined manned flight in the 16th century and left numerous sketches of what a flying machine might look like and how it might work!
TCC will present a musical soundtrack of how he got there, created by American composer Eric Whitacre. It's a sweeping, cinematic piece, so make sure you've read the text before we start.
We are joined by pianist Anna Markland, former BBC Young Musician and Thame Children's Choir for a whole evening of wonderful music.
For 5 more days, you can still get tickets at the advance price of £10, from The Book House, Thame.

TCC2 has started its Spring 2019 term with a new, exciting format where the training choir gets to feel what it is like to sing in a bigger group with the seniors, It is lovely to see them all together.
