Jubilate means ‘celebration’ in Latin. And that's our approach to singing. We perform for pleasure - both ours, and other peoples!
There are around 40 members in the choir. We are not linked to any organisation or religious group. Our members range from those in their 20s to those in their 50s (although most of us are in the middle of that range). But there is no age limit to be a member.
We do around three or four concerts a year. Previous performances include concerts for Amnesty International and St Luke's Hospice, Harrow.
We also enter competitions such as the prestigious Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts (we won first place in the Ladies Choirs class, 2008), and local music festivals (we also won first place in our class at the Watford Festival, 2007).
And then there are the appearances we can't refuse. In the past, we've recorded several CDs of hymns for Readers Digest’s music division, entertained Christmas shoppers at Dickens and Jones in Regent Street with carols, and several times have appeared on stage at Wembley Arena as Barry Manilow's backing singers!
Jubilate rehearses on Tuesday evenings from 7:45pm to 10pm during term times at Pinner Methodist Church in Pinner, Middlesex. And at the end of every term we all go out to celebrate.
If you think this sounds like fun - join us!
