visited Derby again in February 2019, and their workshop and concert at the Multi-faith Centre were sell outs.  We look forward to being able to buy the recordings of their 2019 European tour.

Recent public events……

Our first outing with Frances was at Pride Park in December 2018, where we sang at a Macmillan Day for cancer sufferers and their supporters.  We did so well that we sang at a similar event at Burton’s Pirelli Stadium in February and have been booked for another in June.  We think these events show Kaleidoscope Choir’s commitment to singing for and in the wider community.  And one of our members had the bright idea of singing sea shanties at Quad in ~Derby before the showing of the film fishermen’s Friends.  We did well, and have now added some Cornish to our range of songs in different languages.Fishermen’s Friends
