A new Vice-Chancellor brings with it a new approach to Edge Hill University’s engagement with the wider community. Members of the university, the Side-by-Side Staff Singers, the Gospel Choir and the Performing Arts students (in Victorian costume) under Senior Lecturer in Musical Theatre, Nick Sanders, teamed up with local schools to produce a fantastic result, hitherto unseen in Ormskirk Parish Church. The piano accompaniment was provided by Dr Sahsa Millwood. Between them, they delivered a very varied programme of musical treats which were enjoyed by all present. We were also indebted to Sara Ainscow, Corporate Events and External Relations Officer, who coordinated the event and the members of the technical team, including Neill Cockwill and Daniel Harper, and anyone else whom I may inadvertently have overlooked!
