When one sings in a choir, you just occasionally overhear a comment in the audience. Last Sunday, at the First Martyrs Christmas Concert, as Chordiality finished the sublime setting of Lullaby<\/em> by Karl Jenkins, I overheard an earthy northern voice quietly whisper, ‘That wa gud’.

A ‘gud’ time was had by all, both audience and choir, and much money was raised for deserving charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A collection at First Martyrs was held for the choir’s current adopted charity, Bradford Nightstop, which raised \u00a3489.10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choir members opted-out of sending Christmas cards to one another in favour of a collection for the Bradford Soup Run and \u00a3172 was raised. And, at the choir’s first Christmas Concert, held at St Peter and Paul Church in Yeadon, a retiring collection raised valuable funds for the international charity Mary’s Meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As 2025 nears its conclusion, Chordiality would like to wish all its friends and followers a very merry Christmas and a peaceful and happy New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catch the choir in 2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
