About our Coventry Choir…
Our Coventry choir originally formed in 2019 and began to quickly grow before, as with most things, Covid unfortunately curtailed progress. However, September 2023 saw the re-launch of the choir and since then, among other events, our Coventry singers have gone on to perform at the 2024 England Netball Super League Grand Final, the Future Faces Awards at the International Conference Centre and even Harborne Carnival in Birmingham.
The choir in Coventry continues to grow and develop and like all of our choirs, we’re excited to see it perform at a variety of public events, corporate and charity events, feature shows, weddings, parties and more in the future!
