Christmas performances: we were delighted to perform alongside Derby City Singers at Derby Music Club, Church of St John the Evangelist; and to enjoy an informal supper concert in Allestree.
2020 was a very special year for Voices - our 25th Anniversary. Celebrations - for us as for everyone - got delayed...!
Singing to Celebrate: 10 September 2022 saw us singing together and celebrating that 25th Anniversary with '25 plus 2' along with as many Voices Alumni as could make it, including women who sang with us right at the beginning of our story. We enjoyed wonderful singing, friends, fun and food... an afternoon reunion and rehearsal with an evening concert in St Edmund's Church, Allestree, where it all began with Voices very first concert on 11 July 1995.
We'd like to extend huge thanks to all our singers, parents and friends who made the event possible, St Edmund's Church and our very supportive audience.
Concert proceeds of £400 were shared between Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Charity and Alzheimer's Research UK, remembering Colin Miller, co-founder, administrator and accompanist of Voices. Colin died in January this year and was a keen supporter of Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy; he also fought a brave battle against Alzheimer's.
This event was the first of 'Voices Echoes' - the new programme inviting back, on a regular basis, members of Sequenza (our alumni) to join us for a rehearsal and concert. Our 4 December Christmas concert in St Edmund's, Allestree also welcomed Voices Echoes and raised funds for Centrepoint, helping homeless young people.
2020: There was 'that gap' in our performances and normal rehearsals but our dynamic leader, Dan Miller kept us going with online rehearsals, musical quizzes and competitions, fun with tech stuff and garden singing when we could.
