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. PSPA stands for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Association which is a condition often mis-diagnosed in its critical early stages. The concert raised in excess of £1,200 for the association!

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!

Saturday 6 February 2016 and ECMVC joined forces with Derwent Brass, yet again, to provide a wonderful evening’s entertainment, organised by the Rotary Club of Amber Valley. All proceeds will benefit the Polio Eradication Campaign. St Peter’s Church in Belper was full and a lively audience participated in the flag-waving finale, which followed performances by the choir and band.

Saturday 9 May 2015 saw ECMVC take part in another first for the choir by joining the Sonara Singers in a FlashMob, at the Derby intu (formerly Westfield) shopping centre in Derby. The choirs had been asked to help Rotary International raise awareness and funds for their final drive to remove Polio from Planet Earth. As always, the musical driving force came from Liz Moulder and Teresa Mills.
