Why Music Matters

Making music with others has been proven to have many benefits for mental and physical health including helping to reduce isolation, anxiety and depression and increasing the levels of 'happy' hormones dopamine and serotonin. We asked our members what it means to them to be involved in their choir or ensemble and this is what they said. We are always happy to welcome new members to our choirs and ensembles so if you feel inspired to have a go please do get in touch!
