Over 40s & Seniors
A weekly community choir and orchestra for people aged 40 and over. Members learn cello, violin, music theory and choral singing from scratch or pick up an instrument again after many years, and perform alongside younger ELSCM musicians.
Each Sunday session combines music theory with choir or orchestra rehearsal. Members choose the ensemble that suits them, and the tutors take beginners through the basics of reading music before they join the full group.
The group is one of the three strands of the Generations United Classical Music Project, alongside Children & Families and Adult Carers. Senior members share stories, skills and music with younger students at socials and concerts through the year.
Who it's for
Adults aged 40 and over. Complete beginners are welcome.
Performances
Four pieces for choir and orchestra, performed at the Summer Concert in June 2026 (16:00–18:00).
