PROTEUS CHOIR
The Proteus Choir was formed in 1963 to provide a chorus
where young people could gain experience in choral training.
Rehearsal programmes are specially devised so that members who
are at university are able to sing in the choir’s concerts because
they receive an ample number of rehearsals before the university
terms begin, and at the end of those terms. The name “Proteus”,
chosen by the choir itself, refers to the Sea God who was able to
change himself into many forms and this was felt to be appropriate
to the constantly changing membership and the tremendous variety
of works that the choir covers. As well as singing large choral
works with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra, it gives a
number of unaccompanied concerts, including carols and partsongs, as well as religious motets, and last summer visited Diisseldorf, Duisburg, Cologne and Bonn and made a record of English
music for Cologne Radio. A section of the choir made a recording
of the complete “Midsummer Night’s Dream” music of Mendelssohn with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra for the Yvonne
Arnaud Theatre production. Twenty-five members of the choir
were invited to sing on the B.B.C. Television programme ‘‘Seeing
and Believing” in February.
Mr. Handley wishes to record his thanks to Miss Mary Rivers,
Miss Maureen Hall and Mr. Kenneth Lank for the help that they
have given in training the choir, and to Mr. Andrew Millinger
and Mr. Andrew Wilson-Dickson for taking sectional rehearsals.
All money raised for Dr. Barnardo’s by the Surrey County
Centenary Celebrations will go towards equipping a Home now
being built near Taunton for physically handicapped children.
The next event will be the opening of SUTTON PLACE on
Sunday, 19th June, 2.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m., when the Art Treasures
will be on view. Tickets 10s. from Mr. R. Hale, Heron’s Crest,
Cross Lanes, Guildford. Telephone Guildford 61316.
