Iconic Venue
The magnificent Aylesbury Waterside Theatre is a £47 million theatre in Aylesbury, Buckinghamsire. What you can expect is West End musicals, touring musicals, plays, opera, ballet, dance, comedy, children’s shows and of course Christmas pantomines.
An incredibly beautiful venue, both externally and internally, the acoustics are part of this beauty. The venue uses the ‘Carmen electroacoustic enhancement system” which is allows for adjustments to bass for reverb customisations for symphonies and choral performances. The venue itself is a architectural landmark internationally.
The theatre draws in tourists from across the UK, and every season brings about a new brochure of vibrant shows in a one-of-a-kind venue.
Professional Music Direction and Special Guests!
Community choir champion & sought-after Soprano, Jill Neenan, will bring her choral ensemble, including over 200 adults & children, from The Wing & Wendover Community Choirs to perform alongside their 8-piece professional band, and some very special guests, providing an evening of uplifting music and song.
Repertoire
This special evening of music and song has something for everyone…
From pop pieces, musical theatre, and light classical it truly will be evening for all!
The balance between You Raise Me Up, You’ll Never Walk Alone, Electricity, Panis Angelicus and many more, showcases the varied talents and loves of our beautiful choirs.
From a very young age, I was encouraged by my Mum to raise money for charity. It started at the age of six with singing Christmas carols to the neighbours in aid of The Mayor’s Appeal. Since then, I have performed in and directed numerous concerts and shows throughout the UK, raising money for the MNDA, Macmillan, Florence Nightingale Hospice, ScanAppeal and many other charities and worthy causes.
As the Musical Director of both The Wing Singers and Wendover Singers award winning Community Choirs, I saw a great opportunity to combine both choirs to present a groundbreaking charity concert on the Aylesbury Waterside stage. I am passionate about the power of singing and how singing in a choir can improve mental health and ultimately change people’s lives!
