Village Harmony
Village Harmony is a mixed voice choir based in the village of Sturton-le-Steeple, not far from Retford in North Nottinghamshire. Our aim is to raise money for local charities through singing, and since 2010 we have raised over £5000 for 15 different charities including Bassetlaw Hospice, Bluebell Wood Childrens' Hospice, the Air Ambulance, and most recently Young Carers . We put on our own shows at Sturton in July and December to raise funds for a charity chosen by members of Village Harmony, and we also perform in other local venues throughout the year.
Our repertoire
Village Harmony has an eclectic repertoire ranging from 'Songs from the shows' to modern pieces, folk tunes, television and film themes, and all things in between! Most of our music is performed in three part harmony.
This is just a small selection of what we perform:
Songs from musicals including Les Miserables, Cabaret, Carousel, Sound of Music, Joseph & his amazing technicolor dreamcoat - to name but a few!
Folk songs including 'The water is wide'
Modern standards including 'You raise me up', 'Feeling good' & 'To make me feel your love'.
Haunting melodies such as the Vicar of Dibley theme, 'Speed your journey' from Nabucco and songs from films including 'Cavatina' from the Deerhunter, Titanic etc .
Disney music including 'Bare Necessities', 'Candle on the Water' and 'Somewhere out there'.
Beautiful tunes including 'Flying Free' and 'As long as I have music'
We now have two beautiful banners which accompany us to every venue, our thanks to Irontree Designs in Retford for producing these for us!

Christmas music
Village Harmony sing a wide range of sacred and secular music in their Christmas programmes.
We include arrangements of carols such as 'Silent Night'and 'Ding Dong Merrily on High' , plus beautiful pieces including 'Do you hear what I hear', 'Tell out the news' and 'Pavanne for a Silent Night'.
Our secular choices include arrangements of 'White Christmas', 'Rudolph', 'Bring us hope', and Rutter compositions such as 'The very best time of year'.
Our Christmas concert at Sturton Village Hall is always popular, with craft stalls around the hall to browse before and after the concert, a lovely selection of sacred music in the first half, and a wide range of secular songs in the second half!
