Harmony Choir Summer Concert 12pm Saturday 20th July 2024
The Saffron Walden u3a Harmony Choir presented their summer concert for this year entitled ‘As Long As I have Music’ on the Bandstand in the Jubilee Gardens on Saturday 20th July 2024 from 12 to 2 pm .
There was a wonderful selection of songs, with the Ukulele Group performing in the interval, which were enjoyed by many and the weather was perfect as you can see in the above photo! We raised a magnificent £500 for EACH, East Anglian Children’s Hospices, which was well above the £273 from last year, thanks to the weather and all those who turned out to support us. Walter
Our Autumn term starts on 11th September 2024 at 11.30am at Quendon Village Hall. Further dates for your diary are:- 25/9/24, 9/10/24, 23/10/24,13/11/24,27/11/24 and 11/12/24.
A Christmas service for EACH will be held at the Baptist Church and the choir will support it with a few appropriate carols or songs. Date for this to be fixed.
Last year we gained six new recruits and all have been warmly welcomed and integrated. We support each other in troubled times or difficulty. We can accommodate another four or five. Tenors, baritones and basses in short supply!

About Us
We are a mixed choir of talents and voice range. You will fit in! No auditions and you will get a warm welcome. Singing can lower the blood pressure.
We meet the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at Quendon Village Hall from 11.30am to 1pm. There is a car park adjacent to the hall.
We sing a variety of music with the emphasis on enjoyment and fun. Some bits are a bit more serious but you will be surprised how our tutor Isobel brings us into harmony. Recently we sang songs from Oliver, The Greatest Showman, The Carpenters and some Matt Munroe hits from the 60s. We sing from word sheets so reading music is not required.
Fees vary according to membership numbers. There are vacancies in all sections be you a soprano, alto, tenor or baritone. Come along for a taster session. We can accommodate another four or five. Tenors, baritones and basses in short supply! Give it a GO!
