The West London Choir
The West London Choir is a non-auditioning community choir led by musical powerhouse, MJ Paranzino, the multi-talented singer/songwriter and musical director.
MJ believes that singing is a joyous and mutually uplifting experience for both audience and performer - and good for your health too!
The choir is involved in community outreach, performing new choral pieces and an established repertoire, as well as at weddings and other traditional celebrations.
Have a look at what the choir has been up to...
Celebrate Community
As part of the Wandsworth Arts Festival seven local choirs, including the South London Choir, made Tooting come alive to the sound of song for the Shimmy Sing! Led by MJ, groups of singers delighted residents and shoppers by serenading them from various locations in the high street before all joining together for a lively choral performance. The highlight was ‘Celebrate Community’, a song composed especially by MJ for this event, commissioned by Wandsworth Arts. The choir also performed ‘Celebrate Community’ at The Shimmy! - a day of free and spectacular outdoor arts.
Walls of Sound at Brighton Festival Fringe
On May 1st 2010, as part of the Brighton Fringe, The West London Choir were joined by MJ’s two other choirs, The Brighton City Singers, and the The South London Choir in a 200 strong chorale of new music titled ‘Walls of Sound’, arranged and directed by MJ herself. The concert was held at the beautiful St Bartholomew’s Church in Brighton, to a full house and enthusiastic audience.
