Rehearsal Update

 Support the GCO
Another great performance by GCO players at the Greenock Philharmonic Choir Concert on Saturday night in Greenock Town Hall. In addition to the Vivaldi Gloria (which we also played last week at Paisley Abbey with Coats Choral), the programme included Benjamin Britten’s St Nicolas, scored for strings, percussion and children’s choir in addition to the Greenock Choir. The conductor, Nicholas Wilks, was delighted with the performance, and the huge contribution made by the GCO. Well done everyone! Our usual Tuesday rehearsals will resume on Tuesday 31 March, but please note there will be NO rehearsal on Tuesday 7 April.

Our final concert for the 2025-26 season sees the return of one of our popular past soloists in the shape of Iona McDonald, this time with her partner Jonathan Fong, to play the formidable Brahms Double concerto for violin and cello. Bookending this momentous work are two Beethoven favourites, the Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus and the mighty Eroica Symphony A concert not be missed! We are back to our traditional concert venue of Sherbrooke Mosspark Church for this concert, which takes place on Sunday 31 May at 7.30pm.
