Achievements and pertormance
CANTERBURY CANTATA
Cantata is our auditioned chamber choir. We had our ALJtumn concert 2024 of Mozart's Mis8a Brevis
and Haydn's Little Organ Mass at Sl. Paul's Church, Canlerbury, accompanied by Leon Quartet. We
welcomed two local students as soloists as we feel il is good lo give young people the opportunity to
perform as 801oists.
Our Spring concert 2025 was al Sl. Peter's Methodist Church featuring Todd's Mass in Blue and
Chilcott's Jazz Mass. We were accompanied by a lanlaslic jazz quartet and wonderful soprano soloist
Anna Gregg.
Our Summer concert was a programme of Italian music - Puccini Messe de Gloria and Verdi arias with
Canterbury Camerata accompanying at Colyer Fergusson Hall. We also collected lor Parkinson's
Centre lor Inlegraled Therapies as our missions cross over.
We are fortunate to have a good audience following now and are still working on growing this through
our mailing list, website and social media. We are always pleased lo employ local professional
musicians to accompany the choir and are especially lucky lo have Helen Crayford as our rehearsal
repeliteur.
AMICI CHORUS
Grenville Hancox reassumed facililalion of Amici from September 2024 and embarked upon a
programme of rehearsals that presented the choir with largels lo rebuild both the confidence of the
choir, recruit new members and encourage the return ol others. By December we were in a position lo
welcome friends to an informal performance ol seasonal music and embark upon the rehearsal of
Misa Criolla by Ramirez. This pallern continued throughout the spring term whilst also starling lo
rehearse choruses from The Creation by Haydn.
A very satisfying performance of the Ramirez was given in June 2025 followed by rehearsals lo learn
The Creation for a performance planned lor November 2025.
SKYLARKS
Skylarks is our flagship singing group lor people with Parkinson's. Ils membership is growing again
following a dip aller Covid. There is a real buzz al sessions and the MS centre have been amazing at

everything runs smoothly. Some of our members are currently Irialling Nicola Wydenbach's sing
Parkinson's app. We still allernale our sessions weekly on zoom and lace lo face which works well lor
our members. The Langton boys. link is going from strength to strength and the arrangement works
well. The boys are involved in both sessions, contributing with ideas, their voices, enthusiasm and lunl
They are currently writing conlenl lor their methodology for singing with Parkinson's.
MONDAY MUSIC CANTERBURY
Monday Music Canterbury is CCT'S popular 'music lor wellbeing. group based, as ils name suggests,
in Canlerbury. Facilitator Phil Self got us off lo a great start in September 2024, with everyone enjoying
lols of sea shanties, rounds, folk melodies and popular lavouriles from the Monday Music folder. With
Phil moving on to pastures new, Lucy Gove took over in January 2025 and the group have been
enjoying lols ol songs from the folder as well as a few new numbers lo keep things fresh. We've

The generous patronage by our local foundation and Owen Hearing helps us continue lo provide these
vital services lo the community. Our support for. and collaboration with the ground-breaking
Parkinson's Centre lor Integrated Therapies based at Kent University, Canterbury IPCITI, continues
