Altrincham Choral Society returned to the concert platform last night after 700 days and it felt so good to be back. We sang with our hearts and the audience were so appreciative. All 3 choirs have now performed their first concerts back after similar periods away and all have shown tremendous resilience. The journey back has not been an easy one, especially having to focus on so much more than simply the music, but the joy of being in front of an audience again is simply wonderful.

Each choir should be very proud of their achievements and I know that every choir in the country has had similar challenges, but each and every choir, committee member and individual singer have all contributed. Not to mention the support of family and friends. On behalf of every single voice – thank you!

We can only hope now that we navigate the winter months successfully and that we can begin 2022 with an optimistic outlook and grab each and every musical opportunity that is presented and let us not forget that ‘We are the Music Makers!’
