COME AND SING WITH US

We are a friendly and dedicated choir that performs a wide variety of musical styles from the large choral works like Handel's Messiah and Mozart Requiem, Renaissance music by Monteverdi, Palestrina and Tallis.
We even recently presented a concert of British folk music.
If you are interested in singing then please get in touch and give us a try.

Due to high demand and choir balance, we need to manage the numbers in each voice part. As a result we currently cannot accept any new Altos. We will review numbers again at Easter and update this decision if anything changes.
