The St Nicholas Singers – Community Choir was originally formed in 2011 when our Musical Director at the time, Michael Foy, produced a one-off charity concert to honour the life and work of the Rev’d. Colette Thornborough, the vicar at the church who had recently died. The inaugural concert was so well received and supported by the local community, there was a strong demand to continue rehearsing and presenting charity concerts.   Following two Summer Gala Concerts in 2012 and 2013, Mike Foy then initiated in 2014 what has now become St. Nicholas’ well established Annual Music Festivals. The choir operated from St Nicholas’ Church, Blundellsands until summer of 2023.

During the following 12 years, the choir introduced and funded Annual Community Music Festivals with the St. Nicholas’ Singers traditionally performing the first concert in the Church’s week-long ‘Music Festival’. Their music repertoire included mostly sacred choral works – Faure’s Requiem, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Vivaldi’s Magnificat  Pergolesi’s Magnificat, and Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary to name a few. The choir has enjoyed many weekends away performing in cathedrals up and down the country, (and on one occasion, performed a concert in Ghent, Belgium). ~The choir has also supported many local parish churches, particularly St Nicholas’ which is where the choir has been associated and originated.  Other venues included CHET and Jospice in Crosby..

The Community Choir is now based at St Helen’s Church in Crosby where it rehearses every Wednesday from 7.30pm – 9.00pm and has been renamed ‘Crosby Community Choir’. https://www.crosbycommunitychoir.co.uk
