In 2021 the St Neots Choral Society was delighted to become the first recipient of the Group Hero Award from Making Music, the UK’s largest leisure-time music community, in recognition of the innovative ways we kept our members engaged during the Covid lockdown. We are proud to announce that Reginald Searle, who has been the Society’s Musical Director since the Society was formed in 1971, was shortlisted for this year’s Lady Hilary Groves Prize. This is awarded to an individual or group (selected by Making Music's Board of Management ) who has made an outstanding contribution to British music. We offer Reg sincere congratulations and thanks for all he does, working with the Choral Society and the St Neots Sinfonia, to promote and perform choral and orchestral works in the St Neots area.

Making Music, the UK’s membership organisation for leisure-time music groups, has announced the winners of the 2021 Making Music Awards. The annual awards celebrate the creativity of Making Music’s 3,600 member groups, as well as the talent and tireless work of individuals who help to make the UK’s leisure-time music sector so vibrant.
This year’s awards included two new categories, Group Hero, which was awarded to an individual, small team or committee who went above and beyond to keep their group together through the challenges of 2020, and Best Music Director, for which so many nominations were received that two awards were given – one to a Music Director of a vocal group, and one to a Music Director of an instrumental group.
We are delighted to report that the St Neots Choral Society Committee was awarded the Group Hero award, for the innovative ways it kept members engaged during lockdown which included a Desert Island Discs project,, monthly newsletters, quizzes, selecting favourite clips from previous concerts, and a photography competition for members and their families.Attachment:
