Singers of all ages 17+ are invited to join us for an informal and purposeful day’s singing.

The work studied is always the main item in the summer concert. Participants are invited to join the choir for rehearsals after Easter and to sing in the concert (reduced subscription).

Gounod’s St Cecilia Mass is a charming work, ideal for a day’s exploration.

The registration fee of £15 (£5 for 18s and under) includes music loan on the day, voice part sound files in advance on request, and tea/coffee and biscuits.

With guests Kerry Firth soprano, John Bush trumpet, strings led by Nicola Bright, soloists from the Choir and Rosalind Hall continuo. Donald Judge’s setting of G K Chesterton’s Palm Sunday poem The Donkey. Felix Mendelssohn’s Cantata O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden (O Sacred head, sore wounded) based on the famous Passion Chorale. Trumpet solos, Let the Bright Seraphim, and some of the most joyful arias and choruses from Georg Frideric Handel’s Messiah.
