Meet the Wildflowers
Welcome to the choir
Weve built The Wildflower Community Choir as a safe space to be who you want to be, to support each other, to nurture each other, and to look after each other.
Singing is so important for your mental health and wellbeing – so much so that sometimes the Wildflowers arrive at rehearsal with no energy, having had a rough day, yet leave with a smile on their face, full of energy, and looking forward to our next rehearsal.
The Choir is run by Musical Director Emma. She grew up in a very musical family, going back 3 generations with the Salvation Army Church. Emma has sang from around aged 7 and has being singing for over 35 years. She plays the piano and the flute and has sung in several choirs. Emma also studied music at Secondary School and at Sixth Form and is loving returning to her musical roots after having a few years off.
The choir was born in January 2023 when Emma decided that she wanted to use the Wildflower Rooms (her business) for some enjoyment too and decided to launch a community choir that was going to meet every fortnight and sing for enjoyment. After the first test rehearsal she was asked for it to be put on every week and so the choir was born.
Since then the choir has progressed much more quickly than Emma believed they could or would. Its like an addiction, the Wildflowers just keep wanting more! They have progressed from singing very simple songs to now singing more complex songs in 3 part harmonies.
Emma has a wealth of knowledge and experience that she brings to The Wildflowers, however her main focus will always be about how music and wellbeing are so important for all of us.
Below, you can meet some of our Wildflowers with a few interesting answers to a couple of fun questions ……………
