The choir is made of 30 or so folk from a lot of different backgrounds - ranging from engineers, teachers, students, nurses, sales-people, civil servants and if you ever need a new kitchen ... Anyway, as i said - a lot of different people, from teens to 40-somethings - yes, we do have a core of founder members too (so, they must enjoy it, if they still enjoy spending Monday evenings out for ten months of the year!) Not the usual bunch of faces that you see might see singing in a number of choirs and not just a collection of trained voices either...
This is a group of (largely!) down-to-earth people who work hard under the direction of our Director (or MD, as seems to be the buzz-title of the Beeb's choir competition, Last Choir Standing!) Edward Craig, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
We always have a busy itinery for the year from concerts to broadcasts, but you can check out more about that on the website http://www.grosvenorchorale.com/ - recitals, carol services, competitions ...
And the new year ahead has just got busier as we found out in the past month that we've crossed into new territory - securing a place in the BBC Radio 3 (Adult) Choir of the Year Final in Liverpool later in the year! Now that's a challenge, but it should be fun in the process ...!
