There had been slight increases over the five years since the epidemic but these were counteracted by members leaving, mostly through old age or in some cases dying. The core number remained between 18 and 24.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its 72 year history the Choir has always been central to Civic activity of the thriving Devon fishing town. As part of a \u00a32000 grant, generously provided by Brixham Town Council to help sustain the choir, \u00a3500 was allocated to this workshop. Many existing Choir members came along to support the event and were joined by eleven new participants, who came from across Torbay and beyond. Musical Director Ilana Jacobs started with a comprehensive warmup session and taught the group three new songs. Following this workshop the Choir numbers have expanded by 36%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3362-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3362-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3362-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3362-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3362-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3362-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3363-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3363-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3363-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3363-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3363-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3363-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3365-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3365-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3365-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3365-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3365-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3365-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3366-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3366-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3366-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3366-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3366-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3366-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3373-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3373-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3373-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3373-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3373-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/bomvc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3373-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-7-background-color has-background\"><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOMVC Singing Workshop On 10 October Brixham Orpheus Male Voice Choir held a free, open singing workshop as an outreach activity for the local community in its rehearsal space at The Christian Community Centre in Brixham.&nbsp;
