Woking’s Epworth Choir performed its annual Family Christmas Carol Concert at Christ Church, Woking on Monday 12^th December 2016.  They were joined by St Andrew’s School Choir.

The concert was held in aid of LinkAble, a Woking-based charity serving those with learning disabilities in the local community. Since 1989, LinkAble has been helping people with learning disabilities by providing children, young people and adults with a range of sporting, social and leisure activities in and around the community that would otherwise be unavailable.

This much-loved annual carol concert conducted by the choir’s Music Director, Michael Waldron, included uplifting carols and Christmas music to celebrate the festive season.  Michael said recently: ‘I am really pleased that the choir is supporting such a worthy organisation in LinkAble, and excited that St Andrew’s School choir could join us.

The programme featured the well-known work: Schubert Mass in G which is the most popular of six masses by the composer and was written in just under a week when he was 18!  The concert also featured ‘The Vivaldi Gloria’, which was composed by Vivaldi in around 1715.  Now hugely popular, it was, in fact, little known until the late 1920s with the first modern performance in 1939.

The Epworth Choir, which was established over 50 years ago, has a long tradition of supporting local charities.  For this concert, the choir will be raising funds for Transform Housing and Support which provides housing and support for more than 1000 homeless and vulnerable people each year in Surrey, Sutton and Wokingham.
