Welcome to Solid Harmony Choir Website |
 Solid Harmony is a young people's choir set up by Jane Wheeler, Nick Bowers-Broadbent and Mo Mason in April 2002. It was designed to be an alternative to Revelation Community Youth Gospel Choir, but has become a force to be reckoned with. Based in Newham, East London, it has over 30 members aged 9 -21 from schools and colleges across the borough, with a strong senior membership taking part in NewVIc's Activ8 program. The members of the choir take pride in singing all kinds of music, from Gospel, R n' B and Rock, to Folk, World music and Classical. It encourages members to write and compose for the choir and has student support from Diân Gasper as Assistant Musical Director and Chrystal Lecointe as Assistant Web Editor. Solid Harmony was set up initially with Neighborhood Renewal Fund from Newham Council. For more information go to About us. |

Youth Music 10th Anniversary, held at the House of Commons |
|
A representation group from Solid Harmony Choir had the privilege of performing for the 10th Anniversary of Youth Music celebration, as a guest of Christina Coker CEO. They met the Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw MP, who said “The last decade has been the best 10 years in culture that this country has ever seen”. Bradshaw identified the organisation’s ability to “put aside the age old debate surrounding the importance for excellence and access” as one of its major achievements. “For this work to succeed” he added “you have to have both”.

Festive Singing! 11th Dec 2009 |
|
We have had so much wonderful opportunity for festival singing this Christmas! We enjoyed singing for the Richard House at their Spirit of Christmas and Readings service outside, round the Christmas Tree. It was really cold outside, but hearts were warmed by the shared wishes of the people who came and sang together.

United Churches Together fund raising event, Wanstead 17th Oct |
|
For some time we have looked to find a way to support Richard House children's hopsice in Beckton. It was a joy and privilege to share the evening with so many other musicians and performers in the local community of Wanstead. We enjoyed the acoustic accompaniment provided by our very own Dian, Samuel and Junior. David Spark, the organizer tells us that £192.4 pounds were raised! Well done everyone and thanks for including us!
