Three Choirs at the 3 Shires! Join us for a wonderful evening of instrumental ensembles in the church, featuring a very varied programme and choirs of clarinets, guitars and recorders.
The Central England Guitar Ensemble (CEGE) was established in 2009 by its musical director Andrew Gough, enabling adult classical guitarists to experience ensemble playing. Over the years CEGE have enjoyed performing alongside many other ensembles and choirs and raised much needed funds for charity.
The Bournville Clarinet Choir was founded in 2015 by Nigel Wood. This was made possible by a vision award for the development of community projects by the Bournville Village Trust. The choir has become a well-established ensemble, consisting of around 20 clarinettists.
The Recorder group The Corydon Players was started in the 1970s by Paul Clark. It was designed initially to give members from the Society of Recorder Players B’ham Branch a chance to audition and be a part of a concert group.
