FINAL UPDATE ON 6th JUNE 2023
—
We are closing down!
Due to a succession of unforeseen circumstances in recent weeks, membership of the Aviary Choir has dropped to a point where it is no longer possible to continue.
The choir started in 2017 and, over the intervening years, has met up regularly to rehearse and give performances locally, having a lot of fun, rising to dizzy heights of achievement on occasion and learning a lot along the way. To some extent, it has been a victim of COVID but, as with all smaller organisations, success or failure is at the mercy of the tiniest of market variations. Despite best efforts, the choir has not been able to survive.
Many thanks and best wishes to all members, past members and those who supported the choir in a myriad of ways through its short history.
