History

2006: John Rutter Concert

The Ely Imps was started in 2006 as a choir for a concert with John Rutter conducting and composing music for them. Children from all around the District came to perform, some even coming from as far as Peterborough. The average number of kids there was 108.

2007: Upcoming Success

After a sold-out concert, The choir was kept going, as Director of music Paul Trepte became conductor. In 2007 the Imps did Three Concerts at Christmas, two with the Cathedral Choristers and one on their own. All Three Concerts sold out. This saw a rise in Children joining.

2008-present: A Success

In May 2008 the Imps sang songs by Richard Rodney Bennett. Then in June went to the Cambridgeshire music concert with 2000 other kids. In December another jam-packed Christmas Period led to a concert with the Medieval Babes in 2009. December 2009 saw them do 4 concerts for Christmas. In April 2010 they will do another concert with the Medieval Babes and the May Day concert which attracts around 2000 people every year.
