On Saturday 12th December 2020 some members of the Jubilate Choir, accompanied by Janet Haney, sang carols for the residents of the Coloma Court Care Home, Coney Hall. Our coming to sing to them was much appreciated by the residents who had not had visitors for months, so it was a really heart-warming experience. Some of us even managed a walk in the beautiful surroundings.

Our summer workshop planned for July 2020 had to be cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Undeterred, some of us came together online (using Zoom) to sing choruses from Mendelssohn's Elijah. We were conducted by Janet Haney and accompanied by Peter Bailey at the piano. We were also joined by bass soloist Graeme Danby.

On 15th September 2019 we took part in the Flower Festival at St John the Evangelist Church, Shirley, reprising some of the songs from our Summer Concert.

Members of the choir attended John Rutter's "Come and sing day" on 14th September 2019 at St Nicholas' Curch, Sevenoaks. We sang a mixture of old favourites, traditional folk songs from the British Isles, and recent compositions by the master himself. A most enjoyable day.

Our Spring Concert on 30th March 2019 included two works by Paul Carr: Stabat Mater and Ubi Caritas. We were delighted that the composer was able to join us for the rehearsal and performance. He is pictured here with our music director Janet Haney.

On September 4th we held a taster workshop with Jubilate members and guests tasting our 2018-19 repertoire and a variety of cakes.

At our summer workshop on 30th June 2018 we sang from two contrasting settings of Gloria, by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) and John Rutter (b. 1945). The workshop was led by Janet Haney and Susan Waters, seen here with soprano soloist Mary Walker.

Our concert on 9th December 2017 included the première of a new setting of Ubi Caritas by Paul Carr. This was commissioned specially to celebrate the choir's 40th anniversary.

On 13th May 2017 a few of us enjoyed a fundraising day out on a member's narrow-boat. Even here music was not forgotten.

On 7th May 2017 some of us sang Mozart's requiem with the Really Big Chorus in the Royal Albert Hall. Three of the Jubilate ladies are pictured here relaxing between rehearsal and performance.

The Jubilate Choir's Spring Concert on 8th April 2017 was at St Matthews Church. The programme included Rutter's Requiem and Mendelssohn's Hear my prayer. The concert was conducted by Janet Haney and other participants were Sally Silver (soprano), Olivia Clayton (cello), Jonathan Eyre (organ), Olivia Fraser (oboe), Gabriella Jones (harp), Elizabeth Marr (flute) and members of the London International Sinfonia.

Each December Jubilate Choir sings Christmas songs and carols to raise money for charity. This photo is of us entertaining shoppers at the Whitgift Centre, Croydon. For several years our chosen charity has been Croydon Vision (Croydon Voluntary Association for the Blind).

Our summer concert in 2015, "Around the World in Song", featured music from Scandinavia, Europe, Asia, Australasia and America. Here we see soloists Beibei Wang (soprano) and Violetta Gawara (mezzo soprano) singing the Flower Duet from Lakmé by Delibes.

Choir members sang at the Croydon Heritage Festival in June 2015. Conducted by Janet Haney, our repertoire featured songs from around the world - Sweden, Pakistan, Belgium and Iceland. The last testing our grasp of Icelandic pronunciation! Apparently rolling your 'r's is essential.

On a boiling hot day in July 2013 a group of us, accompanied and led by Janet Haney performed songs from the British Isles at The Dizzy's Family Festival in the Croydon Road Recreation Ground, Beckenham. This was enthusiastically applauded by the audience.

In July 2013 the chance to sing Verdi's Requiem as part of The Really Big Chorus at the Albert Hall was taken up by some members of the choir who enjoyed the musical challenge and the day out together.
