Community choir High Peak Singers raised £375 at charity concert on July 6th

High Peak  Singers, a community choir formed in 2022 raised £375 for charity at their summer concert, on Saturday, July 6th. Performing a beautiful selection of choral music, from the Hebrew Boi Kalah, to James Taylor and Karl Jenkins,  performed under the direction of conductor Hannah Brine, the concert was given in aid of he  Friends of White Hall Centre, a charity that supports the White Hall outdoor education centre.
Their speaker, Andrew Collier, said
“I attended the concert at St. Mary’s church and was overwhelmed by the generosity of the choir members and the audience. They donated £375 in cash and card payments. Far more than I could have imagined. Not only that, I very much enjoyed the concert and was made to feel very welcome. Thanks again on behalf of all the trustees of ‘Friends’, and all the staff of White Hall Centre.”
Hannah says;  “The choir is going from strength to strength as we celebrate our two years of singing together. They make a really fabulous sound and its so wonderful to have this community of friendship and a love of music. We welcome anyone interested in joining us to come along to the start of our Autum term and see if the choir can add a bit of joy to your Monday evenings.”
