Chater Community Choir Change of Rehearsal Location
Due to the continued success of Chater Community Choir the decision has been taken to change the choir’s rehearsal location to somewhere that will more comfortably accommodate their large numbers. Therefore from Tuesday 10th February the choir will be meeting at Edith Weston school.
A Little Christmas Magic
The Christmas story told, in song and readings, in a somewhat different way by the Chater Community Choir and children from Brook Hill Academy, to a sell out audience at Oakham School Chapel on Friday 12th December.
The concert seemed to go down well but judge for yourselves by looking on YouTube at the various numbers that were performed.
The concert raised £1520.42 for the British Heart Foundation and The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
The choir was formed by Tracy Steward in January 2012 and was the first community choir in Rutland. Since their first concert the choir have raised nearly £5500 for local causes and national charities. New members are always welcome and do not have to audition and no experience is necessary.
