ECMVC joined Sonara for their fourth annual Rainbows Celebration in the magical setting of St Wystan's Church in Repton, on Friday 14 December. The choirs were joined by children from Repton Primary School who delighted the audience with their singing. The celebration event also included individual items of readings and stories - and the interval mulled wine and mince pies slipped down a treat!

ECMVC joined Sonara Singers to provide a spectacular evening of choral music, singing a wide variety of items. The concert was organised in aid of the PSPA charity.

ECMVC performed at the Cromford Road Festival in Langley Mill for the first time this year - and we hope it won't be the last, despite choir members taking over the carriages on the train ride! The street was closed for most of the day, allowing members of the public to access stalls and attractions without having to negotiate traffic. Lots of entertainment was on offer, too, including ourselves and the Howitt Infant Choir from Heanor. The children asked us to join them to sing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' and, of course, we obliged!
