Concert - Sunday December 11th
A fun, light-hearted choir project for young voices, run by Jean Holt.
Introducing the first of our new singing projects - a "Choir for Christmas in Wessex"! With 4 short, fun, lively, weekly rehearsals, this is set to be a lovely little project and we think it's a perfect way to welcome children of primary school age and up, into the wonderful world of music. What a special time of year to get singing, just in time for Christmas! Please help us to spread the word about this project, so we can reach as many new young voices out there as possible.
