The Myton Hospices Choir perform at Community Spirit with Black Voices concert

 

On Sunday 3rd July, the Myton Choir performed in a special preview of a rousing large-scale concert where choral voices sing together as one at Warwick Arts Centre.

 

This West Midlands and Warwickshire based opportunity enabled local choirs to perform together in ways which haven’t been heard before.

 

Even more excitingly, this opportunity has been commissioned for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, conducted by Ken Burton.

 

All of the choirs on the day sang a number of songs together; 'You’ll Never Walk Alone', 'Together We Rise', 'Gaude Polonia' and 'Forever Country'.

 

The Myton Choir also performed beautiful renditions of ‘I Wish I Knew’ and ‘I’ll Stand By You’.

Thank you so much for taking part, it was emotional for us with so many wonderful moments.  The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive so hopefully we can build on this for the future. Thank you for all your hard work and support to make this inaugural Community Spirit programme possible.
