We were thrilled to sing Beethoven and Pergolesi to a very receptive audience last Sunday 🎶

Our next concert is West Side Story and Pied Piper of Hamelin on June 29th - put the date in your diary, and/or join us as a singer from April 29th!

In 2024 we started sharing a choral 'Track of the Week' on our social media accounts - and here's a round up of the composers we featured!

Tell us your favourites, who's new to you, and which works we should share in 2025 🎶

Last week some of our members went carol singing at Canary Wharf and raised over £3000 for @samaritans.bsky.social 💚 what a wonderful total! Thank you all for your time and donations.
Approx 20 choir members smile at the camera. They are all wearing coats and a variety of tinsel/Santa hats.

What a night! Thank you to all who braved the weather for our sell-out concert on Sunday.

Our thanks to our conductor and MD Pat, and the team of volunteers who make the choir and all our events possible.
