2004-5 seasons on Web pages

I’ve been surfing around some websites for Bath choirs/music to see what they’re performing this season. I started doing this because I hadn’t received the mailshot I usually get from the Bath Camerata around the beginning of October. Their website lists just a Christmas concert, apparently their first performance since the beginning of June*. The Paragon Singers and the Chandos Singers also don’t go beyond the end of 2004 yet. The most informative of the websites for chamber choirs is the Chantry Singers’, which lists a concert in March 2004 and their Bach Festival in autumn 2005. The Bath Minerva Choir doesn’t appear to have a website at all [this has been put right – see the comment below]. The Bath Festival Chorus, being an occasional choir, doesn’t have a web page anywhere; if you want to join, you have to find out about it from someone who already sings with them. The Bath Philharmonia has no information after November 2002! Bath Baroque promises concerts in January and March 2005 with details to follow. The larger choral societies (City of Bath Bach Choir, Bath Choral Society), as you might expect, have details of their programme until summer 2005. All of this is as at the time of writing of course.
(* 17 November – I’ve just had the Camerata mailshot. The apparent lack of recent activity is because they’ve been making a recording).

    It’s a couple of years later now, and Bath Minerva Choir do have a website – http://www.bathminervachoir.co.uk

    It’s the larger choralsociety type of group that usually has better on-line publicity. Perhaps because their season is fixed further in advance and doesn’t change? I followed some links from your homepage. Right now the Bath Camerata say their next concert will be on ‘1 Jan 70′(!), SAS hasn’t been updated since 1995 and the Exultate Singers’ site has gone down altogther – if it’s moved elsewhere, redirection isn’t working. This can at best deter potential audiences and at worst even make them think that the choir doesn’t exist any more!
