Performance goes down well at the Western General, so we were delighted that HarmonyChoir agreed to put on a performance in the main foyer area of the Western General.  We’ve had a few public performances in the past and they are always very well received.

HarmonyChoir are a group of singers, some of whom have lived experience with mental health symptoms. The group come together to sing, enjoy each other’s company, and positively challenge the stigma that is so often associated with mental illness.

As their name suggests, the HarmonyChoir sing four-part harmony, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. All of the music that they sing has been arranged by their very talented Musical Director, Ben Jones. Currently their repertoire includes Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Bad Day, Con Te Partiro, You Will be Found, Mr Songbird, I Will Survive, Wind of Change, and Stand by Me.

There is growing evidence that supports the health benefits of communal singing; it reportedly strengthens the immune system;  can be a great physical workout and even help improve your posture! And then there are the social benefits in singing together.  It can quite simply widen your circle of friends, boost your confidence and help you improve your communication skills.  So armed with that information lets hear some more of those sweet harmonies.

All are welcome to join the Harmony Choir, no auditions and no previous experience required. All you need to do is love singing.   You can find out more at: http://harmonychoir.com/
