PRESS RELEASE: – 22/08/ 23
CHOIR ON FINAL COUNTDOWN TO RETURN
You can’t keep a good Choir down and Bolton Cancer Voices is testament of this, as they prepare to return louder, prouder, bolder and stronger after an extended period of absence due first to Covid and then to their need to recruit a new Musical Director.
Sixteen new members have already signed up to be part of the inspirational Choir, whose members are all cancer patients or cancer survivors and they are keen to attract more. Membership of the Choir is open to anyone eighteen or over living with or beyond cancer of any type: whether newly diagnosed, in treatment, living with cancer as a chronic condition or a cancer survivor, organizers would love to hear from you.
There are no geographical restrictions, as long as you can get to the centre of Bolton for rehearsals; you don’t need to be able to read music and there are no auditions to worry about: what’s more – it’s free! Whether you are new to singing or it has always played a part in your life, Bolton Cancer Voices would love to hear from you.
The Choir, formed in 2012, is super excited to be reuniting under the baton of new Musical Director – Katie Geelan; an accomplished musician, performer and music educationalist with 30 years’ experience, she is well-use to wielding the baton in front of Choirs and striving to get the best from them.
Karen Elliott – Founder & Chair said:-
‘This is the perfect time for people to take the plunge and join us.
There are so many benefits to singing in a Choir be it around camaraderie or confidence building, health and well-being, new experiences or fabulous opportunities, learning and development but essentially it’s just great fun!
Cancer brings us together and the Choir enables people to connect with others who are or have been in a similar situation: what unites us is our love of singing, quest for fun, the desire to try something new or rise to a choral challenge and the sheer joy we get from entertaining an audience.
We appreciate only too well that a cancer diagnosis can be life-changing; just as we can attest to the fact that joining a Choir can be life-enhancing – try us and see.’
Bolton Cancer Voices rehearse on Monday evenings – 7-30pm – 9pm. For more details contact Karen on 01204 595562 / 07773 164235
