Date Posted: Thu, 24 Jul 2025
On Saturday 12th July we put on our summer 60s and 70s concert planned for us by our former MD Seb Farrall. The evening was a sellout! The choir and audience alike "kept their cool" in soaring temperatures and enjoyed an evening of music and memories, with delicious desserts in the interval. Huge thanks go to Alison Boyd, our accompanist and temporary MD, without her we couldn't have put on such a fabulous performance and raised over £1000 for Seb's chosen charity, The Music Man Project. Thanks also to John, who performed a delightful clarinet solo and to the many choir members who worked so hard to make the evening a success. A fitting tribute to Seb, he would have been proud of us!

Date Posted: Wed, 30 Aug 2023
Stoneleigh Ladies Choir recently said goodbye to their musical director, Karen Whyte, who has been their leader since the choir’s inauguration.
The choir, which is marking its 10th anniversary this year, will now start its new term on September 7 with its new musical director Seb Farrall.
A spokesperson from Stoneleigh Ladies Choir said: “Seb graduated from Coventry University in 2014 with a first-class degree in music composition and the Robert Ramskill Composition Award. He began his career as a student conductor and has gone on to work as a conductor, arranger, vocal coach and with orchestral ensembles.
“He has established a number of choirs in Coventry and Warwickshire and more recently the Coventry City of Culture Orchestra and Festival Chorus.
“He is also a professional percussionist having performed at the 02 Arena and Royal Albert Hall so the choir feel very lucky to have secured his services.”
The choir first public appearance of the term will be part of Stoneleigh’s Festival of Joy on September 16.
The sell-out concert the choir held in July in aid of CRISIS featured ‘Songs from the Shows’ and it raised £640 the charity.
The choir is made up of nearly 40 women and it is looking to increase this number and expand the age range.
Members meet on Thursday afternoons (term time only) from 1.30pm to 3pm and anyone interested should contact Sharron on: sharronmced@gmail.comFor more information, see: https://www.warwickshireworld.com/news/people/stoneleigh-choir-gets-new-musical-director-ahead-of-the-new-term-4273447
