A bit of our history

4/1/2016

0 Comments

 
The Birmingham Icknield Male Voice Choir started in 1900, originally as the ‘Icknield Street Early Morning Adult School Male Voice Choir’ – forming out of adult education classes at the turn of the 20th Century offered by the Icknield School in Hockley.

Surviving two World Wars, and lasting over 11 decades, our 40 man strong choir has had an extremely successful history. Notable moments have included sharing the stage with international star Shirley Bassey in Cardiff, winning accolades at UK music festivals, and holding a centenary concert at the Symphony Hall in 2000.

2007 also saw Birmingham’s Lord Mayor present the city’s coat of arms to us in recognition of our proud history and long links with Birmingham.
​
Over our 116 year history, we have performed hundreds of concerts, and have donated thousands of pounds to charity. Funds from each annual concert have gone to support a whole variety of local names such as John Taylor Hospice, St Basil’s and in 2015, The Midlands Air Ambulance.

Come and celebrate with us and join our choir!

In this milestone year, we are holding a St George’s Day concert on 23rd April 2016 and would love to welcome new faces - men of all ages from across the city to sing with us.

Come and get involved in a 12 week crash course in singing and learn a whole array of great tunes.
Sign up to rehearsals and join us from Tuesday 2nd February and learn a whole repertoire which you’ll perform in our spring show, taking place in the Elgar Concert Hall, Bramall Music Building, University of Birmingham.

There are currently about 40 of us – and we’ve got all ages from 21 year old men, through to those over 80, but we’re keen to keep welcoming new faces. We want to introduce more people to the joy and benefits of singing and our goal is to become a more sustainable group for the future.

You don’t have to be able to read music to join, as we’ll teach you everything you need to know to sing confidently, and there are no formal auditions. Our choir is all about encouraging people to sing and above all, it’s a fantastic place of community and friendship.

Interested in seeing what we’re all about?

Come along to our practices every Tuesday evening from 7.30pm in the Grimshaw Room next to St Chad’s Cathedral or fill in the form below and we’ll get back to you to tell you more.
​
We’d love to get to know you and have you sing in our St George’s Day Concert!
