Meet the members

We’re a friendly crowd – although we are a crowd. We rehearse and socialise at least once a week for roughly ten months of the year and with around 100 members we can produce a mighty sound.

We encourage and help members to be the best singers they can be, both technically and vocally. We work with professional musicians and soloists, running workshops and choral training weekends so that people can polish their sight reading, learn new vocal techniques and spend time doing the thing they love – singing.

We have an enviable reputation for the quality of our performances and we exist to give local people a chance to sing with talented professionals and perform some of the most glorious choral music ever written.

But it’s not all work!

Every two or three years we tour overseas. We have sung in fabulous venues inncluding Venice, Florence and before the tragic fire Notre Dame.

Our private Members’ page gives members the opportunity to exchange messages with each other, get information about rehearsals, other concerts, find useful rehearsal aids and even suggest choral pieces for future programmes.

A weekly newsletter keeps you up to date with choir matters and ad hoc ‘noticeboard’ is sent around to let you know about other concerts and singing opportunities as and when they arise.

A choir our size takes a lot of organising, all of which is undertaken voluntarily so we expect all our members to get involved. Whether you have a talent for handling the public, talking to music journalists
