Recording a World Music Community Choir

Lingmara is a world music community choir which meets each week at The Cause Music and Arts Centre in Chippenham. It was set up by Elena Winch in 2006 and now has a new musical director, Sian Penlington as Elena moved recently to Ireland. The choir sings songs from all over the world, with beautiful harmonies and rhythms. Lingmara regularly performs in Music festivals and local events.

Lingmara were the winners of the Wootton Bassett Arts Festival, Adult Chior in 2010 in which Dreambase Studios supported by offering the winners a recording session were recorded by Dreambase Studios and James Shannon earlier this year at the Cause in Chippenham. The 34 strong choir were recorded during a 2 hour live performance and Dreambase Studios produced the album, mixed and mastered in-house, providing the photography and artwork too.
