Our next concert will be at St Mary’s Church, Churchfields Kidderminster on April 26th. Always a popular event, we welcome back the very talented Tenor Luke Swatman nicknamed the ‘Worcester Pavarotti’ after his appearance on the TV show the Voice, who will serenade the audience with a variety of popular classical and contemporary songs.
So the Christmas countdown has begun as the ladies start rehearsing their Christmas repertoire! Alongside old favourites we have a new piece “All the stars were singing” written by our very own Morfudd Sinclair. We have three Christmas outings scheduled so far:
Kemp Hospice Service at St Mary’s Church KIdderminster on Friday 22nd November (Evening)
Concert with Alcester Victoria Silver Band at Winterfold School Kidderminster on Saturday 7th December (Evening)
Afternoon Christmas Concert at Trinity Methodist Church on Saturday 14th December (2pm)
Tickets can be purchased in the usual way and also will be available on line nearer the date.
Less than a week now until our annual concert which this year will be at Mary’s church Kidderminster. As well as ourselves we are excited about being joined by two very special local guest artists!
Luke Swatman was nicknamed the ‘Worcester Pavarotti’ after his appearance on the TV show the Voice and will be singing a mixture of classical aria’s and songs from musical theatre. Our second guest is pianist, conductor and composer Tony Bridgewater who will entertain the audience with works from composers such as Liszt, Schubert and Beethoven.
It’s not too late to get your tickets from our usual sources or via Eventbright!
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday evening (20th) doors open at 7pm.

Tickets will be available shortly from our usual sources or any member of the choir.
This is the date of our annual Valentines concert at Kidderminster Town Hall at 7.30pm.

Full Rehearsals are back with a few covid measures in place and we are welcoming new choristers on all sections but particularly in the lower Alto range. Please get in touch if you would like to join us either via Facebook or our contact us page.
Many of you will know that the Valentines have been holding online rehearsals via Zoom during the last year due to the pandemic.
We are pleased to announce that after having our hopes dashed in May, physical rehearsals will resume on July 22nd with small groups socially distanced, supported for a while by a continuation of our online practice.
We are looking forward to getting back to regular singing together without the need for a ‘mute’ button, and preparing for our next concert.
