CMM Choir

CMM Choir was formed by Phil Parkin in 1995 to present Roger Jones' musicals in and around Birmingham. The Choir is an ecumenical group made up of members of churches from all over the West Midlands and has approximately eighty members, meeting in two groups (see below).

Phil Parkin retired from CMM in December 2005 and his baton was taken up by Penny King (some will know her as Penny Wheble) for 3 years. Early in 2010, the Choir appointed CMM's Annie Routley as their Musical Director. Annie has worked alongside Roger Jones at Christian Music Ministries for the last 17 years, and is responsible for typesetting and editing all of Roger's musicals and collections. "I am delighted to be conducting CMM Choir. The commitment and fellowship within the Choir is second-to-none, and it is a real joy to look out over a sea of eager faces and know that everyone in the Choir wants to share their faith in Christ through singing Roger's musicals."

CMM's East Birmingham Choir meets on Tuesday evenings at Christ Church, Burney Lane, B8 2NS from 7.45 til 9.30. There is also a smaller West Birmingham group meeting on Monday evenings at Harborne Baptist Church B17 ODH, also from 7.45-9.30, under the direction of Sylvia Whalley.

You are welcome to join CMM Choir – it is not necessary to audition, except for solo roles. Music reading is an advantage, but if you do not read music you are still welcome.

During 2012 CMM Choir will be performing the musical Simeon, An Evening with Devon Brown, An Evening with Alison Fuggle, the musical Jairus Daughter and the Christmas musical While Shepherds Watched.
