St Matthew’s becomes a Community Partner of the
Northamptonshire Music Education Hub |
|
|
|
 |
|
As part of
a countywide initiative, St Matthew’s has recently been
accepted as a community partner in the Northamptonshire
Music Education Hub. The Hub has been set up to promote
the music making of young people in Northamptonshire in
partnership with other Hub members and with the
Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust (NMPAT)
at its head.
St Matthew’s is committed to promoting musical
excellence through the church’s choirs, the fine Walker
organ and Pleyel Grand Piano. By becoming a member of
the Hub, St Matthew’s will be able to open its doors to
|
more
musicians from within the locality and strengthen its links
with other Hub members.
St Matthew’s Church will support the Northamptonshire
Music Education Hub by:
 |
Providing opportunities for children and
young people to sing and develop their
talent for music through regular rehearsals
and performances and promoting a high level
of music making
|
 |
Providing opportunities and a first class
venue for students to participate in
performances, both in religious services and
in concerts
|
 |
Encouraging young people from all sectors to
become involved in music and enriching lives
through a high level of music education |
In
December 2012 the church has played host to three
separate NMPAT events. On Tuesday 4 December the last in
the Autumn series of concerts was held in the church. On
Wednesday 5 December the Senior Girls Choir, with their
conductor Teri Deal and accompanied by St Matthew’s
Director of Music Stephen Moore, recorded in the church
a work written especially for them. Finally, on
Wednesday 12 December NMPAT choirs all came together for
their annual combined concert. The church was full to
overflowing with over 250 voices in 7 choirs taking
part. Coupled with an audience of well over 300 the
congregational carols were sung with electrifying
brilliance by all.
It is our hope at St Matthew’s that these concerts will
be a mere drop in the ocean of what is to come over the
approaching years and months. We look forward to
welcoming more young people over the church’s threshold
as they use their musical talents.
