A choir will sing a special concert to mark it’s fifth anniversary.
Kensington Singers was formed in January 2011 and threw a party for members past and present on January 25.
And they will put on their Songs of the Seas performance on March 17 at St Philip’s Church in Earls Court , where they meet to rehearse on Monday nights.
The choir was formed by Hannah Brine, who last year received a BBC Unsung Hero award for her work with community choirs. She said: “I can’t believe its been five years since I started this choir, the time has flown. It was my first choir in London and I love the people so much.
The choir members range in age from 22 to 75 and being non auditioned we have a wide range of experience levels from complete beginners to ex choristers and music graduates.
“Its exciting to make such beautiful music together on Monday nights, and I truly feel proud that the choir continues to grow and is sounding its best ahead of our five year concert.”
Over the years it has raised money for charities including Save the Children, Nordoff Robbins, Dementia UK, Glass Door homeless charity, Amnesty International and Oxfam, and performed at venues including the Southbank Centre, Natural History Museum, Royal Chelsea Hospital and the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree.
Songs of the Seas starts at 8pm. It will feature a string quartet, classical guitarist and vocal ensemble Peregrina EnChantica.
Tickets are £12/£10 on the door or £10/£8 in advance from www.kensingtonsingers.co.uk
