Raise Your Voices
a community choir in Wirksworth, Derbyshire
OYEZ! OYEZ!
TICKETS NOW ON SALE
for our next concert!!!
RYV is a community mixed choir in Wirksworth, formed in April 2009, purely for the joy of singing! We ring the changes from a selection of genres, mostly in four part harmony, offering a warm welcome to all, when good craic and camaraderie abounds!
We love to learn new songs but we also have many a soft spot for the tried and tested old favourites we fish out for fun!!.
We are busy enjoying rehearsals for our next concert: "THE RIVER RUNS"
a unique part of the
2026 Belper 250
celebrations.
"The River Runs" is a musical tribute to Jedediah Strutt and the mills which made Belper famous. The performance is a combination of elements from some of Lester's previous musical projects; a millennium CD celebrating Belper’s history, commissioned by Belper Town Council, and music composed for two short films for Milford’s ‘Maypole Promotions’.

The RYV Welcome Notes explain a lot more of the "what, where, who, when and why" of RYV! let alone "how"...
