Friendly choir of around 100 members and rehearses Tuesdays 7.30pm at Northgate Arts Centre, Ipswich. Formed in 1824, second oldest choral society in England.
Wonderful to be back at Christchurch Mansion carol singing, certainly a highlight of the ICS year! Many thanks to the staff at Ipswich Museum for looking after us. Decided not to sing 'Coventry Carol' today, and it obviously paid off with ITFC 3-0 win 😉 #christmasmagic #carolsinging #IpswichEvents

Really only 2 weeks ago? Memories of our "Elements" concert at St Joseph's College, the first ICS concert with new Music Director Christopher Borrett. Huge thanks to our audience who braved the "elements" that evening to hear us! Photo credit: Matt Clarke 😊🎼🎶🎵❤️

Privileged to take part in the Remembrance Day service, joining forces with the choirs of St Margaret's Church and Ipswich Minster. Deeply honoured to share our voices at the Remembrance Day service, singing in tribute to those who served and sacrificed.

A great privilege to be taking part in the Charter825 concert on 27 June. We're enjoying dusting off choral classics, getting to grips with Beethoven's 9th and learning a new commissioned piece 'The Gipping Weaves' by Matthew Heyburn. Will be a fantastic evening, please join us! tinyurl.com/ys89t4p6

Safely arrived in Halifax, gorgeous weather too for a quick whizz down to Halifax Minster looking splendid with the sunshine and blossom. First rehearsal this evening with both choirs - hope there is plenty of room on the staging! #choralmusic #collaboration #celebration

Delighted to have Anthony Gray taking our last Ipswich practise for St Matthew Passion before we head up to Halifax on Friday. Lots of hard work this evening, and it sounded great. Can't wait to meet up with Halifax Choral Society to perform together 🎼🎶🎵👍 #choralsinging #collaboration #celebration

Happy New Year and new MD!! Warm welcome for Chris Borrett last night, despite chilly weather outside. Great work on St Matthew Passion, just what we needed after Christmas. Plenty to do before we head up to Halifax in April. Really looking forward to performing with Halifax Choral Society again. 😊
