During the pandemic, local choral animateur, Johnny Kilhams set up a virtual choir for the barn which helped people get through that difficult time and in September 2023, we have launched an in-person choir! The Riverhouse Barn Choir have been very popular and they bring lots of joyful singing to the Barn every week! The choir rehearse on
Tuesday morning from 10am to 11:30am (occasionally from 9:30-11:00am). There are no auditions and there isn't a requirement to read music.
The choir aims to create an atmosphere unlike any other with people from all walks of life. Mums with their pre-school kids right through to retired folk singing side by side in glorious harmony! The music will have a theme each term and have something for everyone. We will sing with and without accompaniment and for concerts welcome local musicians to boost the sound.
Johnny goes on to say...
"this is such an exciting project and I urge you to be part of its musical journey from the beginning. I can't think of many better ways to spend your Tuesday mornings than rehearsing in the picturesque setting of the Riverhouse Barn then buying a coffee and a slice of cake from the infamous community café. Having run choirs now for over 14 years the thing I love most about them is the sense that they become an extension of your family along with being real physical and mental support hubs for everyone. They are such a force for good and I am super excited to launch this choir with Riverhouse."
Johnny and the whole of Riverhouse Barn look forward to welcoming you to this exciting choir!
