Anyone with a love of singing is invited to be part of the new Mile2 Choir which launches next month. The Mile2 Project at De Montfort University would like to offer anyone locally the chance to join forces with students to form the new Mile2 Choir. The Mile2 Project aims to create opportunities for residents in the Fosse, Woodgate, Newfoundpool and Tudor Road area of Leicester which face social challenges by using the skills and expertise of De Montfort staff and students.
The choir is led by conductor Hannah Brine.
Rehearsals will be at the Newfoundpool Neighbourhood Centre on Thursday November 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th from 11am-1pm. The project will culminate in a lunch time performance with De Montfort University students at St Mary de Castro Church, Leicester on Thursday December 6th.
The choir is open to the community and you don't need to have any previous experience or be able to read music to take part. Mile2 Manager Mark Charlton said: "We are really keen to make the choir a success and we hope that people will want to take part."
DMU intends to continue the choir into the New Year and make it a permanent choir which meets weekly and performs during term time. There is no cost to be part of the choir as the project is funded by DMU.
Friends and family are also invited to the performance on December 6th. More details will be available shortly.
Conductor of the Choir Hannah said: "I'm really looking forward to working with the singers to put on this winter concert at the beautiful St Mary De Castro. It doesn't matter if you've never sung in a choir before, so long as you're enthusiastic. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll be making a brilliant sound."
