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. It is led by Adrian Taylor and accompanied by Adam Hollingshurst. The choir is open to all those beyond school age and there will be a programme of performances.

While the Community Choir is not able to meet in person, new and existing members are invited to take part in the Adult Choir session in our brand new initiative: NMPATVC our new virtual Centre.

Sessions will be held on Saturday mornings between 9.30-12.30 via Zoom.

There is also a special centre wide project in the pipeline that we are super excited about and will be announced on 12^th September at the NMPATVC Induction meeting. Email VC@NMPAT.co.uk for more information.

Coronavirus and NMPAT

Wednesday 16th September

Thank you to all of our partner schools who have enabled us to return to teaching this week. It is so good to be working with children and young people again. We are already back in 84% of the schools who have booked teaching for this year and are making active arrangements with the others. We will also be delivering 70 First Access projects in primary schools this term.

Our County Groups are having on-line meetings this week and will be starting smaller and shorter face to face rehearsals next week. Youth Theatre, Young Actors Company and Northampton Contemporary will all be starting on Saturday 19th September. Our NMPAT Virtual Centre launched last Saturday and has its first full meeting this weekend.

Thank you to all the amazing staff, schools, students and parents that are making this possible

NMPAT is back!
