East London Chorus is sponsored by the
"Our
University and the chorus have had a long standing relationship which has
been mutually beneficial to us both. I am a strong believer in making sure
that universities are seen as places that support a rounded education for
all. This includes being active in the local community and ensuring
that we do not limit ourselves to simply undertaking formal
classes. With the increasing pressures on higher education to deliver
results that are measured by performance indicators it is even more
important that we continue to support the arts. Research is, of
course, an important function of any university and so the fact that
the concerts are in aid of cancer research is an added bonus." Martin
Everett, Vice-Chancellor of the University of East London.
Our Aims
1.
To bring top quality classical music to major London concert venues,
Docklands and East London at affordable prices.
2.
To provide more opportunities for people to sing in this vibrant area
of London with a professional orchestra and soloists.
3. To
commission a work from a major East London composer in conjunction with
the University of East London for the 2012 Olympics.
