YOUNG singers from Launceston and Camelford, as part of the Cornwall Music Education Hub’s County Choirs, all came together to record a brand new Christmas song recently.

This song will be the first single produced by the choirs, with all proceeds being donated to Children’s Hospice South West’s Little Harbour.

The festive tune, entitled Winter Weather Wondering, was composed by local musician, Matt Douglas, especially for the Cornwall County Choirs — Cornwall County Youth Choir, Cornwall Girls’ Choir and Cornwall Boys’ Choir. The singers of the County Choirs are aged between nine and 18, and come from across Cornwall.

The Cornwall County Choirs, directed by Angela Renshaw and a team of local choral leaders and teachers, are part of the Cornwall Education Music Hub’s network of ensembles. The Music Hub is funded by the Arts Council to support the musical education and progression of children and young people in Cornwall.

Angela said: “We are all delighted to be involved in this project. We have a great team of young singers now engaged with our choirs, and we have recently opened up three new local groups in Helston, Launceston and St Dennis, along with the established choirs already existing in Penzance, Truro, St Austell and Camelford.”

The song was recorded and produced by dBs Music of Plymouth and will be released on Qube Records, the record label of Mounts Bay Academy on Friday, November 18.

Following release, Winter Weather Wondering will be available for download from all well-known digital music platforms.
