Outreach
Involvement in the city and community of Wolverhampton has been an important feature of choir work since 2004. In partnership with the Wolverhampton Music School and Local Authority the music department of St Peter's Church has put on concerts in various city venues involving children and adults alongside our choir members. Noye's Fludde, John Rutter's Requiem, local cantatas and Petrus (written for St Peter's Millennium) have all been put on very successfully and enabled hundreds of schoolchildren and adults to benefit from our music.

Involvement in the Government's SingUp initiative, and the Outreach scheme run by the Choir Schools Association has enabled us to appoint a Director of Outreach to spend two days a week in primary schools around the city. Choristers (both boys and girls) go out on several visits into schools to help to teach the children their music and act as musical role models. The schools come together for an outreach concert in church once a term along with the church choirs. The Director of Outreach also helps to train members of school staffs to become confident singing leaders. The concerts are exciting events with some lovely (and lively) music. At present the schools we are visiting are: Westcroft School, Long Knowle School, Wodensfield School and Goldthorn Park School (whose concert is on July 14th) |
