Christmas Concerts
Saturday, 10 December 2011
The choir have had a busy week with a Carol Service at the Boy's College in aid of the RNLI, and our Christmas Concert at St Andrew's Church supporting the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts. Both occasions were wonderful, with choir and audience alike feeling that Christmas has now really arrived. Our guest soloist at the concert was Alex Kirk, winner of the 2011 Keith Nutland Award at the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts, who delighted the audience with his wonderful virtuoso playing.
Arts Council Award

The choir was delighted to know that Viv Nicholson, one of our founder members, received a citation from Cheltenham Arts Council, for her services to the choir and to the musical life of Cheltenham. The certificate was presented at the Playhouse Theatre in front of our MP Mr Martin Horwood and the Mayor of Cheltenham Mrs Barbara Driver.

Many choir members helped on Saturday 10th September for our sale of Quality Second-Hand Goods at Bethesda Church Hall. We raised £265 for choir funds, so a huge thank you to all concerned.
Choir Tour to Leipzig
Thursday, 4 August 2011 - Wednesday, 10 August 2011
The choir, together with partners and friends, returned yesterday from a wonderfully successful and happy tour to Leipzig. We sang to enthusiastic and appreciative audiences in the Festsaal in Bad Schmiederberg, near Leipzig, and the Loschwitz Kirche in Dresden, and were inspired by the musical heritage and tradition of both cities. Everywhere we were greeted with such friendliness, and we were all moved by the warmth of our welcome.
Joint Concert Supporting The Gloucestershire Police Male Voice Choir
Friday, 24 June 2011
Despite a rainy evening the Bingham Hall at Cirencester was full for our concert with the Gloucestershire Police Male Voice Choir. We were very pleased to have been invited to share the evening with them as their guests. The Bingham Hall was a great venue, and both choirs thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. So, too, did the audience, who were very appreciative. Particularly enjoyable was the finale, when both choirs came together for a rousing rendition of 'The Rhythm of Life', conducted by George Taylor and accompanied by both accompanists!
