  • Description:

    Our well-established, friendly and enthusiastic SATB group enjoys singing a wide range of music, both sacred and secular, traditional and modern. Each term we sing a variety of smaller arrangements, madrigals, motets, extracts from operas/musicals and other lighter pieces, as well as tackling a more challenging, substantial choral work. Recently we have performed works by Handel, Faure, Gershwin, Bernstein, Saint-Saëns, Borodin and Bacharach, and some rarely performed works by Stanford and Coleridge-Taylor. Music is provided but we occasionally request a small contribution to offset costs. We welcome new members, and while the ability to read music is not essential, you should be willing to practice your part between rehearsals using the practice aids that will be provided, so that you can sing confidently and in tune. Regular attendance is important as we aim to perform a concert to a very supportive audience at the end of each term.

  • Format: Participation in rehearsal with teaching and encouragement, with a view to a performance at the end of each term.

  • Secretary: Vanessa Tilling
  • I act as the day to day administrative support between the musical director and the choir members.

  • I have been encouraging and inspiring people, of all ages and abilities, directing music for many years, through a wide range of projects and ensembles.
