Welcome to Lancaster Millennium Choir

Who are we?
We are a community choir that loves to try out new (and often frankly outlandish) ideas. The choir was the brainchild of our inspirational former music director, Andy Whitfield, who created a host of original music for us.

What do we sing?
We love to perform music that challenges or surprises, as well as entertains. Audiences have been particularly delighted with our film/choral combos, where we sing our own soundtrack to classic films. Over the years our repertoire has included unexpected topics such as children's rights, autism, pregnancy, performing tracheotomies and solving the banking crisis! We also intersperse these original creations with new arrangements of more well-known tunes from Queen and The Kinks, through Joni Mitchell and the Beach Boys to Harold Arlen and Tom Lehrer. Read more about past projects.

Where do we sing?
We rehearse at the Gregson Centre, Lancaster. We perform about eight times a year; past gigs include the Sage Theatre Gateshead, Keswick and Whitby Film Festivals, halfway up Ingleborough, various streets and church halls and the good old Gregson.

Proceeds from our performances usually go to worthy causes. We support Money for Madagascar, a charity that has strong links with Lancaster and many choir members.

Get a bit more flavour of us from when we were featured on BBC Radio 3's Meet My Choir in 2015.

"Truly original and great shaping of material."
