Sheila – Soprano
I find singing in the choir has so many benefits. Physical from the DEEP breathing, cognitive from learning new skills and trying to memorise a whole song, and mental health from companionship, cooperation and commitment. But what really makes it worthwhile is when a new piece comes together, the four part harmonies blending to produce a wonderful sound. Success!
Judith - Alto
I really enjoy coming along on Wednesdays and find learning and mastering new music very rewarding. We have performed in different venues over the years but the most magical is St Giles Cathedral and that is worth all the hard work to make it a wonderful experience.
Stevie – Tenor
I love music and enjoy singing. It makes me happy and lifts my spirits. I enjoy the challenge of learning new songs and the journey we all go through together as we move from rehearsals to performance. It is great to be involved in such a supportive choir.
Ronnie -Tenor
I’ve been singing with the choir for nine years and find it great fun, lifting my spirits and exercising parts of my brain otherwise unused. I enjoy the teamwork involved in collaborating with other singers and get a buzz out of seeing audiences enjoying themselves at our concerts.
