‘Constellation’ concert series

2 Dec 2024

So….that’s a wrap on our ‘Constellation’ concert-series, which took in 6 Suffolk venues over 2 weekends, performing to over 1,200 people.

Thanks to everyone involved including the venues we played:

Fri 22/11 Felixstowe United Reformed Church
Sat 23/11 Framlingham St Michael’s Church
Sun 24/11 Kesgrave All Saints Church
Fri 29/11 Halesworth Cut Arts Centre
Sat 30/11 Ipswich St Joseph’s School Chapel
Sun 1/12 Stowmarket John Peel Centre

Taking inspiration from a decidedly starry theme, encompassing satellites, celestial bodies and lunar landings, these atmospheric and intimate concerts featured arrangements of an eclectic blend of very special songs. We were delighted to be joined by actor Julia Marsen to interject excerpts of spoken word, and Jan Pulsford on keys to weave extra layers of magic through the evening. They proved to be a unique and stunning series of performances.

With seven groups around Suffolk, our choirs are stars in their own right, and they form the constellation that makes up our Pop Chorus family. And the amazing local organisations we’re supporting this year really do sparkle – and they are the stars that bind our communities. Together, we made something truly stellar…
