Welcome to Solid Harmony Choir Website |
|
Solid Harmony is a young people's choir set up by Jane Wheeler, Nick
Bowers-Broadbent and Mo Mason in April 2002. It was designed to be an
alternative to Revelation Community Youth Gospel Choir,
but has become a force to be reckoned with. Based in Newham, East
London, it has over 30 members aged 9 -21 from schools and colleges
across the borough, with a strong senior membership taking part in NewVIc's
Activ8 program. The members of the choir take pride in singing all
kinds of music, from Gospel, R n' B and Rock, to Folk, World music and
Classical. It encourages members to write and compose for the choir and
has student support from Diân Gasper as Assistant Musical Director and Chrystal Lecointe as Assistant Web Editor. Solid Harmony was set up initially with Neighborhood Renewal Fund from Newham Council. For more information go to About us. |

FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH!
Solid
Harmony enjoyed the opportunity to take the stage at Stratford Circus
this evening as part of the NewVIc Music night. It was a fantastic
evening, with members of our band also playing in the amazing Nashaa
Indian Music Ensemble too. Our very own choir assistant, Naomi Scarlett
was in no less than 5 performances and ended the whole show with a solo
performance of her own song. Solid Harmony rocks! (... and not just at
the Hard Rock Cafe!) |

Sorry that we have been quiet over here at SH HQ.
Lots have happened since we last updated you...
In mid-December, Naomi, Botan and Veronica performed in a short film for Youth Music's Christmas Season - video will be uploaded shortly.
In January, the choir hit the ground running with their preparations for the 1st-ever Mayor's Festival of Choirs. Solid Harmony made it to the last stage of the festival and on Friday the 6th February saw the choir get presented with the Mayor's Award for Outstanding Performance with focus on range and individuality in presentation. Again, congratulations to the choir - it was a really enjoyable and fun event for all involved.
Also Youth Music worked with the choir again in producing a film for their website about the wonderful organisations they are involved in - video will be uploaded shortly.
In February, senior members of the choir performed at the launch of a new swimming fitness programme at Atherton Leisure Centre.
Now the choir are working on a whole host of repertoire in preparation for ONE VOICE on the 15th June at the Barbican! (You better be there!)
Upcoming gigs:
