Have you thought about joining a choir this year?
If you love singing and can sing in tune, come and join our very friendly community choir, Cantemus, this year. We're an unauditioned SATB choir conducted by Stuart Weightman, singing a wide variety of secular and religious music, from Bach to the Beatles and beyond. We practise on Monday nights from 7.30 to 9.30 (including supper), at St Luke's church in Newmarket, starting the year on Monday February 15. Come and check us out and see why choral singing is great for your health and wellbeing! We'd love to meet you.
