- New Musical Director appointment
-
Date Posted: Sat, 24 May 2025
We are delighted to announce that Richard Osmond has accepted the position of Musical Director of Truro Choral Society, with effect from September.
A brief biography of Richard can be found on our Director of Music page, and we look forward to welcoming him to rehearsals next term. In the meantime, we have Martin Palmer's swansong with us to look forward to - "Come and Sing Vivaldi" in Truro Cathedral, so we encourage former choir members, choral societies and those who perhaps don't have the time to sing regularly but can find an afternoon to join us for a rehearsal and concert performance in the Cathedral, with professional soloists and orchestra.

Date Posted: Tue, 19 Nov 2024
1. We are indebted to Three Spires Singers for the following information about car parking in the NCP car park (behind the Cathedral): Parking:
Shoppers Car Park at the rear of the cathedral is for maximum 3 hour stays, and applies hefty charges if you exceed 3 hours.
For the NCP car park you can set up an online account and pre-book - see ncp.co.uk. It's a fair bit cheaper than the standard rates, and guarantees you a space. We checked with NCP and if you book for the whole day - ie a single booked period to cover the afternoon rehearsal and the evening performance - you can leave and return during that period without incurring an extra charge, so long as you accept that "we would be unable to guarantee that a space would still be available should you choose to do this. We would also be unable to issue a refund for the unused time as you chose to leave the car park", so if you don't mind taking a chance on finding a space again in the evening and don't expect a refund for unused time in the middle, you can make just one booking. Also, the charge for "all day" is the same, £6.95, whether you book just for 3½ hours to cover the afternoon rehearsal or for 10 or 11 hours.
2. For evening parking in Cornwall Council's short-term Bridge Street car park, there has been some confusion as to whether the 3-hour limit on parking applies in the evening. We have received confirmation from the Council that there is no 3 hour limit after 6 pm, and that the rate of £2.10 applies until 23;00. Note that the car park has returned to Pay and Display.
