Sing-out season is hotting up!

The weather is getting warmer and we're getting performance-ready, here at More Harmony HQ!  We're a third of the way into 2025 now and we're delighted with how things are going.

A Growing Chorus...

So far this year we've had two new singers join us as full members, including our youngest singer, who is just sixteen!  With further potential new members attending rehearsals as well, we're thrilled to be growing our friendly chorus - and to be handing out some more of our purple More Harmony music bags!  

At the end of 2024, one of our goals was to grow our bass section.  We now have four beautifully rich voices in that all-important section and the sound they're making together is rather fabulous!  Having achieved our goal so early on in the year, we've set ourselves a new one: to grow our tenor section!  Yes, we've gone from the lowest part of our range to the highest - can you hit those sparkling top notes?  If so, we'd love to see you at rehearsal!

 

Sing-Outs Aplenty!

Of course, as the year progresses, we find our sing-out diary filling up...  This is one of the highlights of what we do - getting out there to strut our stuff in front of an audience!  Last weekend, we had the honour of singing at the opening of Cornwall Samaritans' new operations building.  The Samaritans is a charity close to our hearts and we were delighted to attend this event and perform for the volunteers who work so hard and do so much good, as well as for the assembled guests and VIPs.  We had a wonderful time, singing in the sunshine and several of us even made a bit of a day of it afterwards, heading off for tea and cake!  Sometimes, you've just got to...

Our next performance is at the gorgeous St Petroc's Church in Bodmin on Friday 30th May, where we'll be singing alongside Wadebridge Male Voice Choir.  You can grab tickets on the door and the fun starts at 7:00pm.  It promises to be a fantastic evening of music, so we hope to see lots of you there.

We've got a few more performances planned in the coming months - more info to come - and we're excited to show off some of the new songs we're learning!

 

Turning Up The Volume...

As the weather continues to heat up, we're receiving more and more requests to sing outdoors.  Singing outside can make it harder for the sound to carry, so we've invested in some head-mics for our members!  It's been a learning curve so far, getting used to the difference in sound and adjusting the volume so we don't have one person deafening everyone else (usually me...), but we're really pleased to have this fantastic amplification in place, as it means we can say yes to more sing-outs and ensure we can be heard from far and wide!  So, if you're planning a Summer event and you'd like some a cappella singing to liven things up, why not drop us a line?

 

Come And Join Us!

Of course, we're always open to new members too, so if you're a woman aged 16 or over and you love to sing - whether you've got bags of experience or you're a total novice - we'd love to welcome you to one of our rehearsals!  You can get in touch via Facebook, send us an email at the above address, or simply turn up on a Thursday night - we rehearse from 7:15pm-9:30pm at Wadebridge Ambulance Hall and we can guarantee a warm welcome and a cuppa.  We really do have a lot of fun together, so if you're looking for a choir to join, we hope you'll come along and give More Harmony a try!
