What do we sing?​
​
The choir has evolved to cover a wide spectrum of songs ranging from Howard Goodall's the Vicar of Dibley and Mr Bean themes, O Fortuna from Carmina Burana, which is more popularly recognised as the theme tune for the X Factor and Verdi’s Requiem to Les Miserables, Rodgers and Hammerstein Medleys, the Armed Man, Sprig of Thyme folk songs and seasonal Christmas favourites.
​
The choir has engaged hundreds of soloists, of local, national and international renown. The Society is a charity and we have always encouraged the musical development of students and young singers.
​
We sing in 4 part harmony - soprano, alto, tenor and bass. You don't have to be able to read music but you do need to practise in your own time.
​
We usually perform 3 times a year - concerts could be in the autumn spring or summer, but we almost always have one at Christmas.
​
We are not a religious choir, but we enjoy singing both religious and secular music.​
