We are a large, non-auditioned choir that has performed a wide and varied repertoire from Mozart to Tavener for over 120 years.  We aspire to a high musical standard and aim to thrill our concert audiences.  Joined by professional musicians such as the renowned chamber orchestra London Concertante, we perform three concerts a year in the Newbury area.  Our regular venues are St Nicolas Church, Newbury and the beautiful Abbey Church at Douai Abbey, Woolhampton.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website and look forward to welcoming you at our rehearsals or at our next concert .

Our 2008 – 2009 season of concerts

Our recent season proved to be an exciting one for performers and audiences.  The programme was varied and innovative, and built on the success of our previous concerts. 

In November we presented Puccini's Messa di Gloria, a setting of the mass with all the drama and theatricality you would expect from the master of opera.  Staying with this theme, our March concert featured choruses from well-known operas, a diverse selection including Verdi's Aida, Borodin's Prince Igor and Bizet's Carmen to name but a few.  The programme for our final concert of the season was Haydn's Creation and took place in the region's most atmospheric venue, the Abbey Church at Douai. 

Please see the Concerts and Events page for dates and times, and make sure you get them in your diaries!
