DonateThrough a love of song, the Compton Care Choir aims to encourage friendships and mutual support amongst its members.
The choir was formed in 2009 by the hospice’s chaplain and throughout the years its public performances have raised awareness and vital funds to help support Compton Care’s work. To date the choir has raised over £56,000.
The choir host a variety of performances throughout the year including the more formal Christmas and Summer Concerts and various smaller events. The choir is privileged to join in at Compton’s special events such as the Memory Walk and Light up a Life.
The choir is a mixed choir and open to anyone who shares a love of singing. Members either have a close connection with Compton or are proud supporters from our local community. Through singing and meeting together, friendships are made, and wellbeing lifted.
The choir is led by accomplished Musical Director, Matthias, who has been involved in music from a very young age, studying with the Vienna Boys’ Choir. He has performed at several prestigious festivals including the Beaumaris Festival and has appeared in Channel 4’s In Her Majesty’s Service with a Welsh male voice choir. Stephen is the choir’s deft accompanist, who plays for a variety of local groups and churches. He has been teaching music for many years.
If you have a love of song or just want to try something new why not come along and give the choir a try? The choir meet on a Monday evening at Christ Church Tettenhall, starting at 7pm. Or chat to the choir’s Membership Secretary, Donna, on 07513 470513 or by email donwalters@talktalk.net.
