2009 Patrons' Concert
Croydon Male Voice Choir staged its annual Patrons' Concert at Whitgift School on Saturday, June 13. A 400-strong audience, including patrons, friends and some special guests, packed the school's magnificent concert hall to hear songs from the choir's latest repertoire.
The acclaimed Welsh mezzo soprano Della Jones is the new president of Croydon Male Voice Choir. Della, who was born in south Wales and now lives in south Croydon, said she was "thrilled and honoured" to accept the choir's invitation to become its president. She added: "Coming from South Wales, I have a natural affinity for male voice choirs."
We have a full programme of concerts planned for 2009, so please do come along! Booking is rarely necessary and tickets are always reasonably priced - usually £5 - £10.
Croydon Male Voice Choir is back home from Cornwall after taking a respectable fifth place out of ten in the international Truro competition for choirs with 41 voices and over. The choir was awarded 84 points out of 100, putting it just two points behind the third-place choir, Dursley MVC from Gloucestershire. Top two places went to Cornish choirs, Four Lanes MVC and Mevagissey MVC. Croydon was praised by the judges for the quality of its singing and presentation. One said that the choir's performance "demonstrated the fine training you are receiving from your conductor."
