After a 2-and-a-half year sabbatical, The Phoenix Choir will return to performing again on Saturday 2nd April, when the choir appears at East Cowes Town Hall.

The 2nd April concert is being held in aid of the East Cowes Methodist Church organ fund. The organ is 100 years old and the necessary refurbishment requires transportation to the mainland, resulting in travel and associated costs.

The concert programme will include a large percentage of songs that are new to the choir and will again encompass the same eclectic mix of tunes from musicals, films and other popular numbers – a wide range of easy listening songs.

The choir was established in 2009 and to date has raised more than £50,000 for local good causes and charities.

Free Entry – but there is a retiring collection

There are opportunities to join the choir in both the Alto and Bass sections. Those interested should be able to either read or closely follow music. Contact the Musical Director for further details by emailing robin@rburnett.plus.com.
