sing-outs and celebrations!

  ​​​
Summer season is well and truly swinging into high gear!  More Harmony have been busy with rehearsals, sing-outs and some seriously big plans....

We were recently delighted to join Wadebridge Male Voice Choir, along with soloist Bo Gregson, to perform in a concert at the beautiful St Petroc's Church in Bodmin.  This is one of our favourite places to sing and we loved being there to celebrate the many forms of music happening in our part of the world.  Music has an incredible power to bring people together and this event was certainly no exception!  From modern musical theatre pieces and traditional choral songs, to classic pop and beautiful ballads, there was something for everyone to enjoy.  We'd like to say a big thank you to Wadebridge Male Voice Choir for inviting us!

We were back in action on Sunday 15th June, performing for the residents of The White House Care Home in Bodmin.  There's something really special about these kind of performances and we're so grateful to the staff for their enthusiasm and kindness.  We enjoyed food and wine afterwards and had the chance to chat to the residents and share our love for what we do.  The visit was made even more poignant for us by knowing that our performance had been specifically requested by the residents, following our Christmas visit, last year!  We've already been asked if we'll go and entertain everyone again this festive season, so that's something we'll definitely look forward to.  It's never too early to get those Christmas bookings in, believe it or not!  Music is truly the cherry on the cake of any celebration and we love being a part of people's events.

Speaking of celebrations...

More Harmony will be celebrating its 15th birthday in September of this year!  Our fabulous choir turned 10 in 2020 and our plans for a celebratory concert were curtailed thanks to the small issue of a global pandemic...

This year, we hope to mark fifteen years of fun, friendship and harmony with a concert at Wadebridge Town Hall.  Whilst the plans are still in the early stages, the hall is booked for Saturday 20th September and we're already seriously excited about marking this special milestone!  Running a small, not-for-profit choir, whilst keeping costs down for our members and still providing plenty of exciting performance opportunities, is practically a second job for our dedicated MD and team of volunteers.  To have not only survived through Covid, when many choirs sadly folded, but to have continued to grow and thrive is a huge testament to the commitment and passion of our members.  With music opportunities abounding in the locality, we are delighted by the fact that we still get new singers through our doors - and even more overjoyed when they tell us what a wonderful, warm, friendly and supportive group More Harmony is.  If that's not worth celebrating, we don't know what is!  We're extraordinarily proud of what we've created at More Harmony and we can't wait to show off what we do.

Whilst tickets are not on sale yet, we can promise that anyone who comes along to celebrate our birthday with us will get to see some fabulous singing not only from us, but from other local groups, plus there'll be a raffle and plenty of refreshments on offer!

Rehearsals are in full swing and, as is always the case, have been full of laughter and joy as we prepare for such an exciting event.  Our rehearsals always begin with a gentle physical warm up and an all-important vocal warm-up and recently, our music team have outdone themselves with their ability to make this fun and inclusive!  

All that remains for us to say is keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks for more information about our "birthday party!"  And indeed, for us performing - we love to sing in the sunshine, so we doubt it'll be long before we're back out there, doing what we do best.

More Harmony is a choir for all women, regardless of experience.  All we ask is that you bring your enthusiasm and can attend regular rehearsals - we'll do the rest!  So, if you're a woman aged 16+ and you love singing, why not come along and do some with us?!  Email us for more details, or simply come along to Wadebridge Ambulance Hall on a Thursday night from 7pm -  no appointment required.  We look forward to welcoming you!
