Primrose Choir

THE PRIMROSE CHOIR

The Primrose Choir was started in April 2000 as the inspiration of Kay Hadley, the Musical Director, to raise money for the Hospice. From the original small group it has now grown to more than forty members with substantial soprano and alto sections and a strong group of tenors and basses.

The Choir gives three public concerts a year. This year’s Summertime Concert will take place on Friday, June 15th at Redditch Town Hall. The Primrose Proms Concert is on Friday, October 19th at the Spadesbourne Suite in Bromsgrove and the Christmas Concert on Friday, December 14th at the Rocklands Social Club in Redditch.

The Choir also performs at private functions for organisations or individuals over the whole of the Redditch and Bromsgrove area. In 2011 the Choir gave six such concerts. Their repertoire is varied with an emphasis on light music but it also includes pieces suitable for more serious occasions. The Choir particularly enjoys singing at weddings.

By arrangement with local Funeral Directors the Choir will support the congregation at funerals. Last year they attended thirteen funerals. They also sing at the Memorial Services arranged by the Hospice Chaplain.

New members are warmly welcomed. No audition or previous singing experience is required. All that is needed is that members should enjoy singing and want to give pleasure to others. The Choir practices on Wednesday evenings at the Hospice from 8 o’clock till 10.
Anyone interested in joining the Choir or booking a concert should contact the Musical Director, Kay Hadley, on 01527-546158.
