Love seeing our friends at East London Community Band giving their members a chance to share performances in a brilliantly supportive environment 🙌

East London Children's Choir was founded last term, in partnership with EastLondonMusicGroup and St Paul's Bow common. It's not too late for children to join us for our Christmas Concert, or for any of the future concerts detailed on our brand new website! eastlondonchildrenschoir.com

It feels like yesterday that we were spending sunny summer days preparing for our massed choir and band concert celebrating the story of the East London Matchgirls' strike of 1888. Read our write-up of the project on our blog here: eastlondonmusicgroup.co.uk/blog

Since it's Monday, it's the perfect time to shout about East London Children's Choir, who performed in our recent project for massed choirs and rehearse every Monday night. It's great fun - send any budding singers their way!

Our Musical Director is running two junior choral courses in Tower Hamlets next month: free of charge and with lunch provided. Can you help us spread the word? 🙏 Spitalfields Music Tower Hamlets Events StepneyLives THAMES Arts & Music EastLondonMusicGroup East End Kids 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 East London Advertiser
