Elmbridge Choir was absolutely delighted to take to the stage at Esher Theatre for our "Walking on Sunshine" concert on Saturday 9th April!

Some beautiful hand made flower corsages brought a touch of spring to our evening of song in aid of local charity, The Grace Dear Trust. The Mayor of Elmbridge, Councillor Tony Popham, joined us afterwards to say a few words of thanks - maybe we can twist his arm into joining us, as we're currently recruiting for new tenors and basses and he is Welsh, so should be able to hold a wonderful tune or two!

It had been an uplifting night - our first visit to the newly reopened theatre - after two years in which many of our performances had been forced online. For our new members it was their first chance to see what we could do under the wonderful instruction of Musical Director, Hugh Beckwith.

From the wondrous John Rutter composition, For The Beauty of the Earth, to a jazzy new arrangement of Moondance and on to a spine tingling rendition of Anthem, from the musical Chess, it was a night of unforgettable tunes, lovely harmonies and lots of backstage chatter and fun. We think the audience enjoyed it, too - at least they were calling for more so we think they must have!
