Brief
reviews of our activities for the years 2006 to 2009 are given
in following pages. To see these, click on the 'Review' terms
under Present in the left hand
column.
The choir currently has 48 members and is supported by a very
active Ladies Committee. We practise every Tuesday evening in
the school room of the Methodist Church, Stithians. Anyone (male,
of course - we are exempt from political correctness in this situation)
- anyone interested in joining us can be assured of a warm welcome
at these practices. Most of the period from January to March is
spent learning new pieces and sharpening up selected older ones.
The choir averages about 20 concerts and 2 or 3 social functions
per year.
The most recent formal choir photograph (January 2007) is shown
below. To see more of the Music Team
(Musical Director and Accompanist), click on Music Team on the
left. The structure of the choir and the individual choir members
in their sections can be seen by clicking on The
Singers.
Contact can be made with the choir using any of those listed under

The
choir particpated in three competitions in 2003, winning in our
class at the County Music Festival and the Camborne Music Festival.
We also made a very creditable showing in Cornwall's First International
Male Voice Choral Festival in May. Competition is hard work but
it pays off in terms of technique and discipline. However we limited
our involvement to just the County Festival in 2004 ~ and won the
Holman Challenge Cup.
We undertook a two-concert tour in September 2004, being hosted
by the Weybridge MVC (Surrey) and the Hart MVC (Hampshire) and sang
in a massed choir concert at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon in June
2006. Our concert programme for 2011 is shown under Concerts. |

Our
latest recording, Congratulations, was released
on 26th May 2007. The title track (No.1) is a medley of successful
British Eurovision song entries (in the days when real songs were
featured). It was commissioned by the choir from Alan Simmons
to celebrate our 60th Anniversary Year. Recordings made by our
choir and those made with other choirs and singers are shown in
the Recordings section. Please
note that several of these are no longer available ~ but they
are included 'for the record'.
International
Male Choral Festival, Truro, 2003-2011:
The Choir has particpated in all five Festivals. See the Internatiol
Festival page (link above). At the Third Festival in the Hall
for Cornwall in May 2007, we were invited to sing the Festival's
award-winning song Whenever There's a Life to Save by Tony
Cliff of Falmouth.
