Harrow Harmony was formed in 1999 by Hilary Musgrave and several enthusiastic members of her ‘Singing for Starters’, choral course for beginners run under the auspices of Harrow Choral Society. Many wished to continue singing after the course ended so were keen to create a new choir which now numbers over sixty-five.
Lemon Tuesday was formed in 2004 to raise money for the Watford Peace Hospice. From the initial idea of encouraging women who wanted to sing to come along and enjoy performing, the group has developed in to community choir, now 20 strong, the group performs locally in Rickmansworth and takes part in the Ealing ‘Sangastevne’ festival each year.
The choirs will perform a diverse range of music from popular songs such as ‘Lean on Me’, ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ and ‘Don’t Stop Me Know, to choral classics such as ‘Christus Factus Est and ‘Hallelujah Chorus (Messiah)’, so this will be a really exciting event for all the family.
