Jubilate has reason to celebrate

By choir member Claire Palmer

Jubilate choir participates in a number of regional competitions, and has just had a successful weekend at the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts Saturday May 17, coming first in our class (with a score of 89 per cent) and taking home a cup! We regularly perform in and around Harrow, at Christmas and summer time, and hold fundraising concerts for St Luke's Hospice in Kenton. We are planning to record a CD soon.
Jubilate started as the Kingsbury School choir in the 1980s. It won many competitions, including the prestigious Llangollen Eisteddfod. Other Achievements included reaching the semi-finals of Sainsbury's Choir of the Year and appearing on Opportunity Knocks.
The choir now has around 40 members. Some of the original members even remain in the ranks, and with Sarah Stroh as our Musical Director we have gone from strength to strength. Sarah studied at the Royal Academy of Music and sings professionally - she has appeared as a soloist at the Royal Albert Hall and the Belfast Waterfront Hall and toured France, Bulgaria and Macedonia.
