AGM 2022
Dear friends,
You are invited to attend the Canterbury Cantata Trust AGM via Zoom on Saturday February 26th 2022 at 11AM so that we can maintain a virtual connection with you and take the opportunity to update you on activities during the last year.
We will send out a zoom link nearer the time via mailchimp and will also send a newsletter, agenda and financial summary a few days before the AGM so that, if possible, you can send any questions in advance. There will be a short time allowed at the end of the meeting for questions but advance submission is preferable. Please email any questions to:

ISOLATION CHOIR
Phil Self, who runs a number of Canterbury Cantata Trust community singing groups, including Monday Music in Canterbury, has just produced the first in a number of projects designed to ensure we remain connected with our 'Singing for Health' and 'Sing to Beat Parkinson's' friends across East Kent and Medway during this difficult time.
The Isolation Choir sing their first song ever - the traditional song 'Wild Mountain Thyme'. 54 singers and 7 instrumentalists playing 9 different instruments. Many of these singers come from singing groups across East Kent and Medway who sing for their health and well-being as well as the enjoyment they get out if it. This includes people living with Parkinson's and other neurological conditions. Please see the links below for information on more of these groups.
