Community Choir

Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust’s Community Choir is going from strength to strength, and would love to expand its membership!

The choir is 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 shows.

The choir is non-auditioned and welcomes members who do not read music as well as others who do.  Directed by Adam Hollingshurst and Matt Winkworth, the choir welcomes all those beyond school age to the choir’s weekly rehearsals.

Register your details, and come along any Tuesday during term time for a free trial!
