The choir at Truro Methodist Church comprises some 40
members and is one of the busiest in the area, regularly leading the singing at
worship and performing anthems at both morning and evening services. Apart from the
important role played at Church, the choir has performed concerts in the West
Country and has firm links with St. George's Methodist Church in Boscombe,
Bournemouth. The choir has taken part in the Cornwall County Music Festival and
has won the competition in the Church Choir Class for several years. Recently
they took part in the Camborne Music Festival where they also won the Church
Choir Class. In 1997
they ventured on producing their first tape - 'Messiah' - performed
and recorded live at the Church. They also shared in a Harvest Songs of
Praise with Noel Tredinnick and Langham Brass and a choir of 120 voices
made up from members of Plymouth Central Hall Choir and Choirs of the Cornwall
Methodist District. Appearances on Radio include Christmas and Easter
programmes for Radio Cornwall. In 1999 the choir performed John Rutter’s ‘Requiem’ and sang in services
at Truro Cathedral. Choir practices are held on Friday night where the members
not only learn new music to add to their extensive repertoire and rehearse
anthems but share in fellowship and fun. The choir are happy to sing at
weddings (for a modest donation to choir funds) and welcome invitations to sing
at Truro Methodist Church or any other church in the locality. The choir secretary
is Mrs Liz
Harvey please
contact her in you are interested in the choir performing for you.
Philip enjoys performing as an organist and endeavours
to provide music to suit all tastes. He welcomes invitations to perform
recitals in venues large and small. Surprisingly for a musician, Philip shares such diverse interests as DIY
(which includes the restoration of his cottage), organ building, computing and
farming.
