Continuing with the tradition we started last year, we invited our parents in for a short informal concert where we showcased the songs we have learnt so far this year. We have been focusing on singing in 2 parts; the children have mastered this skill very well and sang beautifully.

In December 2023 we were invited to sing in a promenade version of A Christmas Carol adated by Ray Oakham, a local actor and writer. It was a fabulous experience and so popular with the audience that we have to perform it twice!

We were delighted to be asked to perform at the Roman Rover Music Festival 2023. We opened the whole festival with a performance on Tuesday 26th September. The performance was very warmly received by our audience.

In June 2023 we performed alongside the London Youth Choir and sang a selection of songs written about some of the famous historical events in London, including the great fire in 1666.

Recently, we performed an informal concert to parents. We sang some of our favourites including a Queen medley, a Greatest Showman medley and a piece by Cold Play called Viva la Vida.

Also in December 2022, the coir sang at the Christingle service held at St Mary’s Church in Wivenhoe. The sang a funky version of The Holly and the Ivy which was thoroughly enjoyed by the congregation.

In December 2022 the choir sang at the University of Essex alongside the University of Essex Choir. The children performed in The Mass of the Children by John Rutter and experienced singing with a choir of more than 100 people. The children also performed a piece on their own and delighted the audience with their enthusiasm and skill.

In December 2023, we performed ‘On Christmas Night’ by Bob Chilcott with The University of Essex Choir.
