ABOUT US
Andante Andante was formed specifically with the aim of fund raising for local charities. Since their formation in 1999 they have raised approaching £60,000 for good causes. Most of its members sing with other larger choirs in the area, but enjoy the more exposed singing of a smaller ensemble. The choir’s repertoire varies from chamber choral music through to church anthems and motets, not forgetting novelty songs and spirituals and music from stage and screen.

Roger Windmill Musical Director
Roger received his musical training at Trinity College of Music. He then taught in Upper Schools in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire for many years. In addition to Andante, he currently directs Newport Pagnell Singers. He has toured Europe and the Far East as an examiner for Trinity Guildhall. Now retired from the hectic teaching commit-ment, he is finding time for all those relaxing pastimes he has missed in the past… like making music!
Ed Tomlinson Accompanist
Ed has been Andante’s accompanist for the past 10 years. As well as assisting groups and soloists in MK and the surrounding counties, Ed is a versatile instrumentalist playing clarinet, saxophone and organ. He is equally at home whether playing jazz or classical music. Ed is a chartered tax adviser by profession, having worked over 10 years at what was originally a gap year job! Alistair Hindley Guest instrumentalist
Alistair is 13 years old and is a pupil at Oakgrove School. He has been playing the piano since he was 8 and also plays the cornet. He loves all forms of music from playing in a rock band to Youth Brass with MKMS. He also sings in the school choir & is currently rehearsing for his school production of Annie, in which he plays the part of the dog!
