CHRISTMAS CRACKERS!
Our annual Christmas concert has a different twist this year – with an earlier start of 6pm, the programme is aimed at appealing to families looking for an evening that gives us all the aspects of Christmas that we love to share. There will be reflective pieces, songs of rejoicing, fun and laughter, festive fare, and a splendid raffle of hampers and gifts. The ‘Crackers’ are not just the crazy or explosive kind, but also those ‘cracking’ pieces of music that we all love, including some old favourites for the adults, some Jingling Bells and red-nosed reindeer for the children, and carols for everyone to join in with. Not to be missed!
Tickets priced at £15 (to include refreshments) can be purchased on the door (cash or card). Children under 16 will be admitted free of charge, so bring along your friends and family for a joyful evening with The Quayside Choir.
Sunday 7th December 12 noon onwards – Carols and Songs at Kingston Lacy House, Wimborne, BH21 4EA
We are thrilled to have been invited to sing at the beautiful National Trust property, Kingston Lacy. The Quayside Choir will be singing in the café courtyard during the afternoon, with our first performance at 12 noon. Come along and enjoy the grounds and house, hear some festive music, and join in with a carol or two.
Saturday 7th March 2026 – Choral Workshop, Upton Community Centre, Poole Road, Upton, BH16 5JA 10.30am – 4.30pm
Our very popular annual workshop will be led in 2026 by Mark Burstow, Musical Director of the Bournemouth Symphony Youth Chorus. Mark has a wealth of experience with choral groups, and we are delighted that he will be joining us for the workshop. The Quayside Choir’s choral workshops are becoming quite famous locally – not least due to the excellent tea and cakes that are provided, and also the great networking and social opportunities they bring! Most enjoyable, give it a go! More details will follow in the New Year. If you would like to go on an email mailing list for further information, please message quaysidechoir@yahoo.com
