LEVENS CHOIR, KENDAL, CUMBRIA

WELCOME TO LEVENS CHOIR, KENDAL, CUMBRIA

Levens Choir started with a few friends meeting weekly in Levens village school in South Cumbria to indulge their mutual passion for choral music. Since then it has gone from strength to strength under the guidance of its founder and Musical Director Ian Jones to its present size of approximately 50 members, drawn from a wide area of Cumbria and North Lancashire.
Now in its 37th season, the Choir has established a reputation for high performance standards and innovative programming. The repertoire, sacred and secular, light and serious, is challenging and ambitious.
Levens Choir has performed to great acclaim in such illustrious venues as St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, York Minster, Pershore and Tewkesbury Abbeys and both Worcester and Ely Cathedrals, as well as regular Cumbrian venues such as Kendal Parish Church and Cartmel Priory to name but two.

The Choir is fortunate in having many members who take on solo roles or who are talented instrumentalists, thus enabling the choir to present varied and interesting programmes.

In autumn, 2008 the Choir enjoyed a successful tour to Suffolk where we sang in Long Melford Church, Framlingham Church and Ely Cathedral.
For last year's tour the Choir stayed closer to home spending a Day in the Dales, singing in Conistone, Kettlewell and Arncliffe churches. This year the Choir will visit the south of England.

THE CHOIR CURRENTLY HAS VACANCIES FOR MALE VOICES.

Our next Concert -

'A FLOURISH OF FOLKSONG'


Tuesday, 9th March at 7.30pm


St. Thomas Church, Kendal

CAROL SINGING

As usual on the Saturday before Christmas we were out in force in Kendal carol singing for a local charity.
The 2009 carol singing collection was in aid of victims of the recent floods in Cumbria. The Choir sang in the Library and the Westmorland Shopping Centre, from 10am until 12 and collected £302 which will go to help those who lost homes, possessions and businesses in the deluge which struck in November. We'd like to thank all who contributed to our collection, some of whom lingered and joined in the singing.

Watch out for us next year on the Saturday before Christmas when we shall be carol singing in the Library and the Westmorland Shopping Centre from 10am until lunch time in aid of another local charity.

Firs stop, Kendal Library

Our first port of call for our annual carol singing is always upstairs in the Library. The circular landing is open to the ground floor so we can be heard and not seen which some might think is no bad thing!
