Doncaster’s Quirky Choir 20th birthday concert at The Dome
It is all part of the choir’s Quirkus Project and The Dome performance promises to be a wonderful evening showcasing the eclectic body of creative song work that has come out of the project.
Funded by Arts Council England, supported by darts (Doncaster Community Arts), and guided by artistic director Janet Wood, Quirky Choir has celebrated their special year in the only way they know how – quirkily.

Quirky Choir’s first public performance of the project at the Doncaster Trades Club featured the funny, moving and quirky songs around memory that developed from the collaborative work between poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan, Quirky Choir, and Singing For Memory, a dementia support group. Quirkus secretary, Pat Cassidy, said: “If you tried to sum up the Quirkus Project year with one word, then it would be “FAB…U…LOUS” - and that would be an understatement. At the heart of the project has been the desire to reach out to the community in Doncaster in song and celebration.” Tickets for the Quirky Choir Dome concert are £5.
