Past Performances

Sat, 16 Dec 2023

We were asked to help put on a concert at Trinity Church as a fundraiser and so we teamed up with the lovely Exaltation Choir, another lovely Halstead group, to perform a series of Christmas favourites!

What an excellent way to finish the season!

Our favourite time of year wouldn’t be complete without our own Christmas Concert. Once again we were back with the Halstead Dementia Choir as guest singers – they brought the house down as usual!

Here we are with our pre-show photo ritual!



And here we are on stage!


 

And here are a couple of shots with the DFC!

And we are back with a bang! Our first concert back since the extended break due to Covid. And back at a new venue! We moved to The Empire Theatre September 2023, and this was our first concert on our new stage…

You’ll notice the audience are all standing – it was Carol Singing time! We may be in a new venue, but we still made sure the audience got their annual singlaong with us!

We were honoured to be asked to sing at the Braintree Lights Switch On – we didn’t quite realise we were to be the main act for the event, just before the count down!! It was quite a big audience… and it was fab!!

September 2022 saw the launch of the Dementia Friendly Choir inconjunction with our choir and The Empire Theatre. We started small, but we have definitely grown!

We were very proud to join in with the Jubilee Celebrations in Halstead. We sang a special hymn called ‘In Our Service’ called written by Composer Thomas Hewitt-Jones, commissioned by the Royal School of Church Music, with lyrics based on the Queen’s speeches through the years – it was very moving to sing!

Wed, 15 Dec 2021

It may still be in the midst of a miserable pandemic, but donned with masks, and in the fresh (very cold!) air, we traipsed up to the Colne View Care Home to join in with Doorstep Carols for the residents and families. There were even donkeys!!

Sat, 7 Dec 2019

Unknown to us, this was to be our last concert at Ramsey – and our last concert for a few years! Covid was just around the corner, and we would be singing on Zoom for a while… but we kept going!!

This was also the concert Sam had to conduct the entire two-hour performance with a baby in a sling, as the youngest member of the choir just would not settle with anyone else!!

One of our favourites for the year – the Reception at Trinity following the Christmas Lights Switch on at the Halstead Christmas Fayre!
