Dear Friends and Supporters,
We did it! A year ago we took the momentous decision to not just take part but also compete in the 2026 Cornwall International Male Choral Festival - the largest of its kind in the world. This would be the first time in more than 25 years that we have been in competition, and so we knew it would take an amazing effort on the part of all of us to do ourselves justice . Months of hard work, alongside our normal concert commitments, under the direction and teaching of our superb MD Phillip paid off and we were awarded second place in class (just behind an auditioned choir I should add!).
I am so proud of the whole choir with this achievement, but now the pressure is on to continue this development and do even better in two years time!
The improved quality of the choir is obvious in our performance - if you would like to experience this first hand then book your tickets for our Summer Concert on 18th July at St. Thomas-on-The Bourne Church in Farnham - go to https://www.trybooking.com/uk/GMCK. We are singing to support the Cheryl King Trust, a fantastic local charity that funds music lessons for children and young people from low-income families.
Mark Kusionowicz
Chairman
P.S. We are holding an "open evening" rehearsal on Monday 1st June at 7 p.m. in North Camp Methodist Church for any man who would like to experience what singing in our choir is like - so pass the message on!
