Lace City Launches Hugely Popular Singing Course!

Lace City Chorus launched another of its popular singing courses on Nov 2nd. Over 75 women from all over Nottinghamshire attended the first of 6 rehearsals. The course will run for 6 weeks. Participants will be included in the chorus Christmas shows, which will be held at Nottingham Trent University On Dec 12th.

In 2015 Nottinghamshire County Council provided LCC with a grant of £2,450 to enable women from all over the county, and of average singing ability, the opportunity to rehearse and perform with a world class a cappella singing chorus. Over 140 women and girls have learnt and rehearsed new songs which they then performed at a number of concerts in venues around the county.


Competing in Las Vegas!

In October 2015, our chorus members flew to Las Vegas to compete in the Sweet Adelines International Convention which is the World Championships of barbershop singing. Over 30 regional winning choruses from around the world competed in the semi-finals, with the top 10 going through to the final. Lace City placed 16th, with the highest place and highest score of any UK chorus.
