“As Covid restrictions eased the choir were delighted to be able to return to their church hall rehearsal room in September at Goring United Reformed Church in Worthing. Having previously rehearsed in Covid times in the large church next door with windows and doors wide open the previous year, it is a delight to be back to some sort of normality.

“The 50-year-old mixed-voice choir remains as strong as ever with 65 members enjoying rehearsals and performing in c oncerts at Christmas, Easter and the s ummer, singing everything from Mozart to Queen. The choir will be conducted by musical director Helen Emery, with piano accompaniment by Kathryn Kay and guest cellist, 17-year-old Molly Cartmell.

“The programme will include a mix of well-known and much- loved Christmas carols with plenty of opportunity for the audience to join in with the community carol singing. The chosen charity for this year’s Christmas concerts is Turning Tides, a Worthing charity supporting the homeless.”

Tickets are priced at £10 for adults and £4 for children and can be purchased by phoning 07710 812592.
