Matthew Morgan - Peter Bray, Treverva Male Choir - Penryn, Cornwall
A short investigation into the people that are part of a male voice choir in Cornwall (Mylor). Much like numerous other choirs across the country, Treverva Male Choir meet weekly to raise their voices in harmony. They exemplify the significance of community bonds, demonstrating that individuals are never truly alone. Within the choir, each member possesses a unique background and story. However, when they unite in song, they become a singular entity, transcending individual narratives to create something truly beautiful together. Members frequently describe their rehearsal nights as ‘treasured’ moments in their week. It’s a time where men from all walks of life gather to partake in the simple yet profound act of singing. They find comfort within the music, allowing it to wash away the burdens of the week. Through this shared experience, they learn invaluable lessons in commitment, community, and the profound joy of collective expression.
