DonateBorn out of a shared love of music, the Compton Care Choir was originally formed in 2007 by the hospice’s chaplain and a group of volunteers. Since then, it has grown into a vibrant, independent community choir that continues to support the work of Compton Care through music and fundraising.
Now operating as a fully independent group, the choir is proud of its roots. It exists in its own right, with its own leadership and membership, and is open to anyone who enjoys singing – no connection to the hospice is required. While now independent, the choir remains committed to raising awareness and funds for Compton Care’s vital services. To date, it has raised over £65,000 to support patients and their families.
With more than 60 members, the choir performs regularly throughout the year, including its much-loved Summer and Christmas concerts. You’ll also find them singing at local fairs, care homes, pubs, and special Compton events such as Walk for Compton and Light up a Life.
Led by accomplished Musical Director Matthias, who trained with the Vienna Boys’ Choir and has performed at prestigious festivals including the Beaumaris Festival, the choir is supported by talented accompanist Stephen, a long-time music teacher and performer with local groups and churches.
Whether you’re an experienced singer or just curious to try something new, the Compton Care Choir warmly invites people to come along. There’s no audition and no pressure – just a welcoming group of people who love to sing and support each other.
Rehearsals take place every Monday evening at 7pm at Christ Church, Tettenhall.
