Summer of ’76
We had a blast and the audience did too!
As you can see from out new header image, we grasped the theme of this concert with both hands. Reflecting some of the musical events of 1976 and mirrored by the lovely hot weather, our concert was a real success and the strawberries and fizz at the end were gratefully received by the audience, and well earned by the choir. It really was a special afternoon of choral music. All the details of the exciting program can be seen on our previous concerts page.
As if that wasn’t enough, we had an acoustic showcase of 2 Leonard Cohen songs by choir members Beth and Andrew.
Summer Break
We are now on our Summer break, but will be back in the autumn with another singing day, your chance to sing with the Maia. Watch this space for more details.
Carols by Candlelight 2025
Another super Christmas concert, that included While Mary Slept by Helena Paish. Helena won the BBC your Chorister of the year in 2014 aged 14 and has since won the BBC Proms Composition competition and the BBC Proms Inspire Competition for young composers in 2019.
Come and Sing with The Maia
We had a brilliant Come and Sing day in October as a way to introduce our new MD Henry Page. We welcomed more than 20 visitors who enjoyed learning some of Mozart’s Requiem as well as some other choral classics that are part of our varied catalogue. There was plenty of cake as well!
‘Thank you for the Music’. In front of a capacity audience made up of our faithful followers, new friends and many ex members of the choir (some who had travelled a very long way to see us) we performed some of our personal favourites as a fitting farewell to our retiring MD John Pomphrey. After over 50 years at the helm of The Maia Singers there are many people who are thankful to John for the Music he has helped us create.
Our ‘Jubilate’ concert at Wilmslow United Reformed Church Wilmslow was another great performance by the choir and soloist, Sophie Billington
Details of the pieces we performed are on our Previous Concert Programmes page.
