Queen Margaret Chorale sublime in Standing Room Only showcase – Supported by QMC Old Girl, Ella Monnery
“ “
In July, the Queen Margaret Chorale was turning heads inside a packed QMC Hall at the ‘Standing Room Only’ showcase. It was the first public performance for the group’s 47 members in 2021 – a year in which major events, including the Big Sing, were cancelled for safety reasons.
Chorale Musical Director Mark Stamper says that coordinating this year’s Chorale has been one of the more unique experiences in his career to date.

“I am so proud of the group’s energy, commitment, focus and our eventual musical product. Everyone maintained a strong sense of determination and willingness to grow, despite the adverse circumstances due to Covid-19,” said Mr Stamper.
“We had over 30 singers audition for 17 solos, and most of them would have been amazing. There has been incredible growth inside our group over the past four years.”
