  • 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 usually 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. In the recent past we have performed works by Handel, Faure, Gershwin, Bernstein, Saint-Saëns and Borodin, as well as rarely performed works by Stanford and Coleridge-Taylor. In Summer 2024 we rehearsed music from 'Les Misérables'. Music is provided but we occasionally request a small contribution to offset any costs. We welcome new members and whilst the ability to read music is not essential, you should be willing to learn your part so that you can sing confidently and in tune! Regular attendance is important as we aim to perform to a very supportive audience each term.

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