A STAR IS BORN - "ELMBRIDGE COMMUNITY MUSIC SOCIETY "
Cobham-based Elmbridge Community Music Society celebrates its fifth
birthday in September this year. Even before the Elmbridge Choir had
reached it's fifth birthday, it had performed at over 20 concerts,
raised more than £70,000 for charity, and now forms the basis of The
Elmbridge Community Music Society, which also comprises the Elmbridge
Ladies Choir, the Elmbridge Community Big Band, and Elmbridge Young
Musicians - an astonishing 304 members.
The
Elmbridge
Choir, Elmbridge Ladies Choir and the Elmbridge Community Big Band are all based in the borough of
Elmbridge in Surrey, United Kingdom
and comprises members drawn from the greater Elmbridge Metropolitan
and surrounding areas.
Membership is open to any person regardless of
race, religion,
creed, sexual orientation, belief or musical ability.
Joining the Elmbridge Choirs or Community Big Band will not only ignite your own life with passion through the joy of singing, but will also help you make a big difference in the community - our goal is to use the combined musical talents of the choir and Big Band to help deserving local charities and provide hope for those less fortunate than ourselves.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bring people together from all
walks of life who all share the same passion - music!
Whether
it's the singing of folk songs, modern pop, contemporary or any other form of
musical expression, or playing our hearts out as trumpeteers, clarinetists or whatever instrument in the Big Band, our voices, talents and skills will blend together in unison and harmony to
produce sounds that will not only ignite our own souls, but delight and
inspire those that hear us!
Our aim to
introduce adults of all ages to the skills, techniques and enjoyment of
choral singing and playing in a community Big Band, all whilst having as much fun as possible.
In doing what
we love best,
we aim to help charities across a broad spectrum raise funds,
and
with few exceptions our concerts are always dedicated to a worthy
cause.
We hope that
you will find these web pages interesting and informative and hopefully join one or more of the groups!
