Centenary Chorus ConcertSunday 17th May 2026 2 - 4pm |
 |
 |
Here in Nunthorpe we have a strong link with the churches of all denominations, both in Nunthorpe and Marton. The Centenary Chorus is being formed specially for the occasion, to build on this relationship and to share in our centenary celebrations in a joyful bond of making music. The day will be preceded by a Workshop Day to get ourselves familiar with the chosen programme of music - which will largely be secular - and to explore the depth of talent we have in the area. |

Our Conductor / Accompanist ~ Nocola Tayler Nicola studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama on the M.Mus Repetiteur course. After a spell as a freelance ballet pianist in the UK and Tasmania, she relocated to the North East where she works as a music teacher at Red House School. In 2018, she was offered a position at the Royal Ballet School, playing for the Associate programme in Leeds. She also accompanies several local choirs and musical theatre societies. Nicola became accompanist with Guisborough Choral Society in April 2022. She also accompanies several local choirs and musical theatre societies. Nicola, describes herself as "Not a real pianist." - I beg to differ! |

If you would like to join in this auspicious occasion, we would love to hear from you. The workshop will be intense, but enjoyable, as we learn new pieces, re-acquaint ourselves with some half-remembered golden-oldies and hone some more familiar favourites. With a range of abilities coming together, we will be able to learn from one another, and produce a sound to delight our audience. You do not have to be from an existing choir. You do not have to be from a particular religion. You just need to have a thirst for singing. The greatest thing will be that we are united in song in the beautiful surroundings of St Mary's Church, under the expert guidance of Nicola. |
