We are so pleased to have been asked to be guests of The Blue Notes at their Christmas Concert on December 14th.
Hailing from South Cerney, The Blue Notes are a dynamic all female women’s group and are led by Music Director Louise Matley.
Louise has performed with soloists, bands and choirs from a very young age and is an examiner for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and examines any instrument up to diploma level all over the country. Most of their members have been performing for ten years or more.
The event will raise essential funds for the Prospect Hospice, which offers end-of-life care services for the community of more than 330,000 people in Swindon, Marlborough and north east Wiltshire.
Tickets for what will be a very well-attended evening will soon be available at ticketsource.co.uk/bluenotes and we would recommend getting them while you can!
We can’t wait to see you all there for what promises to be a beautiful, festive evening.
Our thanks and congratulations to the young voices from Stagecoach Performing Arts Cirencester who sang with us at our ‘Songs from the Musicals’ concert at Cirencester Parish Church. They gave stellar performances that gave a huge uplift to an excellent evening in which we were superbly supported by The Blue Notes. It was an excellent night and we look forward to joining both Stagecoach and The Blue Notes again and again.
The Choir is led by Music Director, James Willshire and he is superbly supported by accompanist Louise Matley. James is internationally known as a pianist and educator, Head of Keyboard at Clifton College, and a member of the Keyboard Department faculty at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Louise is a vastly experienced pianist, a former Head of Music and an examiner for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.
We are most grateful to Lewington Wealth Management for their generous sponsorship, and to our Patron, Lord Bathurst, and to St James’ Place, for offering us so much support. And would like to thank everyone who comes to our performances: your generosity helps keep our Choir alive and raises money for local and national charities.
NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO JOIN OUR CHOIR
New Members of the choir are always welcome. There is no need to have performed before, and no need to read music.
We love to sing, we make new friends from all walks of life and we do our best to help the local and national charities that do so much to help people in need. Please come and try us out.
Details of how to come to a rehearsal, with no obligation, are here.
