Preparations are underway for a mass choir concert in Northampton

The specially commissioned show includes a number of different choirs all coming together at the Royal and Derngate Theatre in Northampton.

Under the heading "Collide – a choir fest experience", it's brought together by Musical Director Gareth Fuller of Northants Sings Out which itself combines different groups and singers.

The whole night will include 200 voices performing all genres of music together, boasting a mix of ages, demographics, and cultural backgrounds.

Many performers will sing alongside Karen Gibson MBE, famed for leading the choir at the Royal wedding of the Sussexes, Harry and Meghan.

One of the choirs scheduled to appear is the One Voice Choir, which is made up of Northants based Foster Carers, Adoptive Families and their support networks, Family Link workers, Children's Key Workers, Social Workers, and others in fostering and adoption.

Also on the bill, Music Director of the Northampton Male Voice Choir, Stephen Bell told us:

"I’ve noticed many solid friendships form in the choir over the years. There’s a real sense of ‘can do’ too, a team working together for a common goal: great singing performances! Singing brings tremendous benefits for participants. There’s the camaraderie for starters but best of all is the mental stimulus and sense of well-being that comes from rehearsing and performing together."
