The military wives choir on board Prunella at the "ostend at anchor" festival
The
Military Wives Choir is a community of nearly 2,000 women in 72 choirs across the
UK and overseas. Its over-arching
aim is to support women, whose lives are impacted
by the armed forces, through a
shared love of singing. The ethos of the MWC is ‘Sing,
share,
support’.
In 2010, a choir for military wives
and girlfriends was set up at Catterick Garrison to help
the women support each other while
their partners were on deployment in Afghanistan.
Inspired by this story, Gareth
Malone worked with women from Chivenor and Plymouth
military bases to get them ready to
sing at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal
Albert Hall - as featured in the
popular BBC programme ‘The Choir’. On the back of this,
the MWC foundation was created in
2012 and it has gone from strength to strength.
The Military Wives Choir of Belgium
was formed in 2014 and is now, with close to 40
members, one of the largest in the
MWC network. Our members come mainly from the
Brussels area and from SHAPE
(Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers in Europe)
