NMPAT Community Choir

Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust’s Community Choir: The first community group run by NMPAT.

Welcome to the Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust’s Community Choir: the first community group run by NMPAT, for people who simply love to sing and want to improve their skills, whilst performing a wide range of styles, from choral classics to songs from the shows.

The choir is non-auditioned and welcomes members who do not read music as well as others who do. From September 2021, it will be led by Adam Hollingshurst. The choir is open to all those beyond school age and there will be a programme of performances.

6th July 2021

Thank you to everyone who supported our Summer Festival of Music at Derngate. We were delighted at the standard of performance by all of the groups, who played to such a high standard, with virtually no full rehearsals for the groups. It was such a joy to see all of the young musicians performing.

Thank you also to everyone who has supported the Virtual Centre throughout the year. The final meeting on Saturday 3rd July was very emotional, but it also heralds the return to our real life Centres in September.

All our planning is now focused on September and we are watching Government guidance to see what will be possible. We are planning a return to normal rehearsal plans and will confirm this as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your support throughout this year. We wish you a very happy summer holiday and we look forward to a return to regular music making in September
