Our auditions are over, next week our brand new season fully starts with new and old faces. So we thought it was a good time to take a look at the past year and remember the brilliant time we had together.

Accompanist needed
The Pink Singers, Europe’s longest established lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) choir, seeks a professionally trained accompanist for the 2011/12 season.
A typical year might include two major London concerts, an average of two concerts elsewhere in the UK, one foreign trip and numerous small group private and community events. Working with the Musical Director, Murray Hipkin and supported by the Assistant Accompanist, the successful candidate will provide keyboard accompaniment at rehearsals and performances and will be a key member of the Artistic Team.
Rehearsals are held on Sunday afternoons in the Euston area and the repertoire ranges from baroque to contemporary pop and musical theatre. Excellent keyboard skills in a range of styles are essential and some experience of choral training, conducting, improvising and arranging would be an advantage.
To find out more about this exciting opportunity please email chair@pinksingers.co.uk for an application pack, and visit www.pinksingers.co.uk for general information about the choir. The closing date for applications is 02 Oct 2011.
Starting our winter season 2011
On 11 September we started our Winter season 2011/12, and even when we are still auditioning new members, we can already feel the Pinkie magic. New songs, New challenges, New members. But at the same time, the good old family and memories of our past season.
Razzle Dazzle, our summer 2011 concert, was very enjoyable for us, and we hope for our audience as well, so we want to share with you one of our favourites: You Can’t Stop The Beat, enjoy!

Proud to be a Pinkie
In this special New Pinkie’s View one of our altos Sue tells us what it is like to join the Pink Singers. Interested in trying our choir on for size? Then don’t hesitate: get in touch with Gary on our Join Us page now!
Talk about popping my cherry! There have been so many things that I have done for the first time since I joined the Pinkies!
I have always loved singing but it has mainly been consigned to the car or the bath. I have a job, family and friends that keep me quite busy but felt it was time for me to find something that I could do just for myself and meet some new friends along the way. A friend told me about the Pink Singers, I had never heard of them before so I took a look on their website and immediately liked what I saw.
So for the first time in my life I went along to a choir alone (which for me is a very big thing!) I need not have worried because as soon as I arrived I was met by Gary who made me feel welcome. So many of the Pinkies came and spoke to me and put me at ease. Continue reading “Proud to be a Pinkie”
