We have an amazing new web platform for our website and chorus management! Huge thanks go to our admin team for all the work they have put in to setting up the site and moving all the data over from various sources. It will be great to have everything in one place. The new platform looks great and we have had brilliant support from Making Music all the way.

- Success at Oxford Music Festival

Date Posted: Sat, 1 Feb 2020
Harmony InSpires competed in 2 classes at the Oxford Music Festival on 25 Jan 2020 - our first competiton with our new MD, Hari Birtles.
We had a most enjoyable day, performing "Yesterday I Heard the Rain" and "Sunny" (arranged for us by the talented Sam Hubbard) in the Barbershop Class and Anthem (Chess) and The Climb (Hannah Montana) in the Ladies Choir Class.
The adjudicator, Stephen Carleston, gave us enthusiastic feedback and we were thrilled to be awarded "Outstanding" , the highest category, in both classes.
