The Isle of Man Government staff choir is set to be renamed, and opened up to the rest of the community to join.
The choir was founded by the Isle of Man Arts Council in 2016 and is led by Dr Mandy Griffin as musical director, and David Holland as accompanist.
It has now been renamed The Isle of Man Arts Council Community Choir and is open to anyone who enjoys singing, with a wide variety of music from classical to pop, musical theatre to jazz and Mozart to The Beatles.
The choir rehearses at St George’s Church, Douglas every Wednesday lunchtime, starting at 1.10pm and finishing at 1.50pm and starts again after the summer break on Wednesday 10th January.
Arts Administrator Zoe Shuttleworth told us about some of the benefits of singing:
