What a wonderful concert to end nearly 40 years of music making by Chanterelle. We had to include the Lord Mayor of Solihull in our final photo.

Lovely last ever *sob* rehearsal at Lyndon Methodist Church yesterday. It was great to go back!
The church has undergone a transformation since we last sang there. All the pews have gone, to be replaced by much more comfortable chairs and the floor has been carpeted.
The Christmas tree arrived during the rehearsal so with luck it will form the backdrop to our final concert this Saturday. We hope you’ll come along and support us.
On: Saturday 7th December 2019
Chanterelle Farewell Christmas Concert
@ Lyndon Methodist Church, Melton Avenue/Lyndon Rd junction, B92 7QX
Time: 7.30pm
Tickets: £8 (£4 children under 16). Available at the door.
Merry Christmas!

Chanterelle Ladies' Choir

Chanterelle Ladies' Choir

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Chanterelle Ladies' Choir will cease to exist from January 2020.
It is particularly sad because 2020 would have marked the choir's 40th anniversary - 40 years of friendship and generosity. Over the years we have raised well over £44,000 for a variety of charities.
We are keen to make our final concert on Saturday December 7th 2019 @ 7.30pm a celebration of all that has been good about the choir over the last 40 years and hope that you will come along and support us. Our charity this year is Solihull Mind.
Any Ladies or Children's choirs that need some of music, please get in touch!
