Choirs for Change 2018
On by Adam Walker
We're two weeks into Choirs for Change 2018 and we've just passed a massive milestone!
As the temperature drops and days get ever shorter, Christmas cheer is being spread throughout London, as well as Chester, Cardiff, Newcastle and Norwich with Choirs for Change.
We’re now two weeks into Choirs for Change for 2018 (yes, that does mean we started in November!!) and with more than fifty hours of carols sung so far, we’ve been amazed by the incredible singing and the wonderful generosity of the public.
A huge thank you goes to all the choirs who have taken part. We’ve had a fantastic mixture of choirs; from Primary Schools to Socialist Choirs and from Acapella groups to instrument backed choirs. The one thing that has been consistent throughout is the impressively high standards of the choirs and the enthusiasm they have to lend their voices to Choirs for Change.
UCL Music Society brightening Old Street commuter’s rush hour
With Christmas still over a week away, we’re delighted to announce that Choirs for Change has already raised more than £10,000 to support communities realise their right to health. Along with the choirs, special thanks go to the public for being so generous with their donations and to the staff at National Rail and Transport for London sites for being so accommodating and ensuring our choirs always have a great spot to sing.
Remember, if you hear some wonderful voices lighting up your commute next week then please pop over and say hello!
