Alsager Community Choir hits a high note ahead of the festive season
By Deborah Bowyer 13th Nov 2026
Alsager Community Choir is going from strength to strength as it prepares for a packed winter season and an ambitious roadmap for the year ahead.
Led by organisers Sue Thomason and Musical Director Dan Hollingshurst, the choir has grown into one of the town's most vibrant creative hubs as we told previously here
This year's calendar culminates in two upcoming Christmas concerts packed with festive favorites, alongside the choir's highly anticipated annual Christmas party at The 13 Club.
Looking forward, the ensemble plans to bring live music directly into the heart of the town by staging performances at various community venues throughout the coming year.
"We are growing stronger with every term," says Sue Thomason. "The energy in the room during rehearsals is incredible, and our upcoming Christmas concerts are going to be a real treat.
"Next year, we want to share that joy even further by showcasing the choir right across local venues in Alsager."
Beyond the music, group singing is widely recognized for its impressive health benefits. Research consistently shows that singing in a choir reduces stress, boosts endorphins, improves lung capacity, and strengthens heart rates through regulated breathing.
For many members, the weekly gathering serves as a vital social lifeline—combining mental wellbeing, camaraderie, and accessible fun without the pressure of auditions.
"Whether you are a seasoned vocalist or someone who only sings in the shower, the choir warmly welcomes new voices across all vocal ranges," said Sue.
The group meets Mondays at 7.15 pm at Wesley Place in Alsager. Anyone interested can contact Sue at [email protected].
