Soul Full of Sunshine: Our summer concert in Cerne Abbas, 2024
Summertime was celebrated in Cerne Abbas this July as Kathie presented her adult choir, Cloud 9 Chorus, along with Wessex Music children’s choirs Skylarks and Nightingales and Cerne Abbas First School choir, Hummingbirds, at our summer choral concert! Also featuring special guests Waterfolk, this upbeat, joyful programme gave a taste of gospel, pop and folk songs old and new, all in aid of children’s charity Mosaic, supporting bereaved children.

Weymouth Music Festival
March 2023
Viva!, Heart & Soul, and DCH choirs took part in the Weymouth Music Festival this March, entering in the adult choir category. We sang a collection of songs, including one of our favourites, Make Your Own Kind of Music. The festival was a great way to take part in a celebration of local music talents from all backgrounds, and of all abilities.
