Sorry to make people rush around on Facebook but this page has now moved to be “Calder Valley Voices” Group Page - it means we can all add to the page instead of just relying on one person to post - so there will be loads of news now on there , but not on here - so just search Calder Valley Voices and it should come up

This would be convenient for us if it happens

Bradford Voices community choir would like to host the Street Choir 2025 in Bradford as part of our city of culture events. We are aiming to set up a steering committee in September to get thing rolling. Apologies if this is the wrong forum but could someone maybe direct me to the right place.

Dear Campaign choirs,
Not sure if you're the people I should be sending this to, but Bradford Voices community choir would like to host the Street Choir 2025 in Bradford as part of our city of culture events. We are aiming to set up a steering committee in September to get thing rolling. Apologies if this is the wrong forum but could someone maybe direct me to the right place.

EXCITING INVITATION TO COMMUNITY CHOIRS IN THE NORTH -

Our new, waterborne project Opal’s Comet features an original song cycle and we’d like to offer some of the songs in the cycle to local community choirs.

We know that choirs are like big families and that singing together brings great comfort in difficult times.
These songs are also your special invitation to join the Opal’s Comet journey, a proposition to sing together and raise your voices in the landscape, with us.

The music and words are guide tracks are now available via our website to help aid learning.

Our producing team can work with your choir leadership to co-ordinate access to events and all the logistics of participating. Choirs will sing alongside the boat and her crew, as it arrives in a pre- arranged location along their journey.

If you are interested in the songs or would like to join us on the journey, please get in touch with [email protected] .
