Things To Do
Peterborough Choir looking for new members to kick start 2024
The choir meets Tuesdays in term time, 7.15 at St Andrew’s Church, Ledbury Road, Netherton, Peterborough PE3 9RF
New members, irrespective of experience, are very welcome to join Peterborough Choir. In particular, the choir needs more men and singers with lower voices and the choir promises “our members are ready to help new members”.
Mary Lawrence says that like many local groups they have lost members through Covid, leaving the area, etc over the last year or so.
“In order to continue to sing to the standard we want and produce good quality music for the Peterborough area, we need to need to encourage interest in what we are doing,” she says.
In November, the choir sang Mozart’s Requiem with the London Classical Choir to raise money for homelessness projects including Peterborough’s Light Project.
The choir is now working on a programme of French choral music, including the well-known Faure Requiem, ready for a concert on March 16 in St John’s Church, Peterborough.
