Newham Big Sing Event, Soutbank Centre, London
A joy and a privilege once again. Newham Young People's Chorus (NYPC) raise their game once again! Well done! Everyone who took part. We loved sharing the stage with 'Young n Gifted' too'. We must try and get together soon guys! We also hope some of you keen singers in NYPC will come and join us next year. We expect high standards of commitment, but it's all worth it! Congratulations to Shirley Keen and Rachel Thomas for keeping the dream alive. Thanks for involving us!

Thank you Jack Petchey!
Chrystal and some of the choir grab a photo opportunity at the Jack Petchey Awards night at the Kenneth Moore Theatre in Ilford. We are proud to be supported by the Jack Petchey Foundation and enjoy the Awards programme which encourages us to recognize members who make a particularly strong contribution to Solid Harmony, for whatever reason. Well done Aaron, Jasmine, Junior, Naomi, Opeyemi, and Chrystal (Young Leader Award!), and to all the other young Award Winners!

ONE VOICE!
This evening Solid Harmony took part in the ONE VOICE event at the Barbican, London EC2. They were invited as a guest performance in the programme sung by ARK Schools massed choir. Not only did several of them act as Young Mentors throughout ARK schools massed choir rehearsals for the event and sing with the children, but they sang 2 pieces on their own to demonstrate what can be achieved with commitment and hard work. We really enjoyed the opportunity and hope we have inspired many more young people to continue to develop their singing through school and community choirs. It's great fun! (ADD PHOTO thumbnail, and page as soon as you can Chrystal) The photo's make all the difference, needless to say!) |

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:
- 1st April - NewVIc's Music Concert, Stratford Circus
- 15th June - ONE VOICE, The Barbican.
