There are just a few days to go before AUCTION 25 closes! See http://auctionofpromises.com/i.aspx?a=83ddmj2 for the last chance to see the wonderful range of offers available.
The Auction offers choirs and choral directors of all kinds a host of wonderful resources at less than normal cost. We hope to raise £25,000 towards our training programme to ensure it can develop and grow to benefit as many choral leaders as possible into the next 25 years.
There is a huge variety on offer, including commissions, a unique range of workshops, a holiday venue and offerings from leading composers and publishers. With reserve prices starting from £15 and the option for choirs to join together for larger items there is guaranteed to be something for everyone!
We are very grateful to everyone who has donated their time and gifts to AUCTION 25. There is a wonderful range on offer, including:
• A hand written, autographed first page of any piece by American composer and conductor Eric Whitacre
• A wide range of choral workshops from some of our leading practitioners, including Gillian Dibden, Neil Ferris, Lin Marsh and Robert Latham
• Individual training opportunities, including singing lessons and conducting lessons
• Commissions from composers such as Alan Bullard, Bob Chilcott, Douglas Coombes, Paul Mealor and Alan Simmons and an arrangement by James Davey. Why not join together with another choir to commission a piece by one of today's leading composers?
• Limited edition scores of The Armed Man and Belshazzar's Feast signed by the composers
• A recording session for your choir, or high quality photos taken at your next concert
• A week's stay in a holiday cottage in rural France, near Bordeaux
