HEAR ME NOW
Formed in September 2007, a group of students, fronted by Choir leader and founder Maggie Copeland, make up London based Hear Me Now! The members of Hear Me Now all met on a course at the prestigious Central School of Speech and Drama.
Earlier this year they entered the hugely popular BBC talent contest, Last Choir Standing. After a rollercoaster of emotions coupled with some great performances, Hear Me Now! narrowly missed out on a place in the final six. Click here to view Hear Me Now! as seen on BBC1.
During the competition, Hear Me Now! met some great people and had the privilege to share the stage with some truly gifted choirs from around Britain. They received plenty of praise and advice from the likes of Russell Watson, Sharon D. Clarke and Suzi Digby, OBE. Throughout their journey, Hear Me Now displayed their talents in a range of genres - from pop and rock to classical and new compositions. Whatever they sing, they do it with dedication and gusto!
And although Hear Me Now! are as sexy and glam as choirs come, "We're about more than make-up and high heels. We've got the quality to back it up."
Since Last Choir Standing, Hear Me Now! have realised that their passion for singing is what has brought them together and they want to continue their fine work and perhaps inspire others to get singing.

St. Vincent's is a Catholic one form entry Primary School situated in the heart of Marylebone which serves a diverse community from the local area.

As well as consistent excellent academic achievement, the school excels in many other areas. A varied physical education curriculum has resulted in strong sports teams who compete in, and win a range of events, whilst musical talents are enriched by membership of the school Orchestra and Chamber Choir. The pupils are very excited to be singing at the switch on of the Marylebone Christmas Lights! The school day is also supplemented by an array of extra curricular clubs. As well as sports and music children can participate in clubs for the School Newspaper, languages, drama, science, ICT, homework, chess, yoga and dance.
