MUSICA RESCHEDULED Christmas concert went according to plan in East Cowes on Sunday.

The Camerata Chamber Choir had just a week to find an alternative venue after the original concert at Newport Minster, due to be held a week before, was cancelled because of bad weather.

The event was transferred to East Cowes Methodist Church, where the choir performed traditional hymns and Christmas carols.

"It went very well considering we didn’t have much time so we were really pleased," said musical director Jurgita Hayward.

The choir, which formed in March, has 14 members, both men and women, aged between 27 and 60. It is currently looking for a pianist and anyone interested can contact Jurgita on 299025. Rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings at St John’s Church, Newport.
