and look forward to:
A Special Sound
Being part of a blended sound described by John Rutter as “transparent” and by Susan Gritton as “a special sound”.
Touring
Last season we sang in Winchester Cathedral, Tewkesbury Abbey and the Chapel of St. John's College, Cambridge, as well as our "home" venue of St. Mary's Church, Reigate, and other venues in Surrey and Sussex. This season we will be singing in St Edmundsbury and Ely Cathedrals, as well as local venues. Plans for future seasons include visits to Snape Maltings and the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and options to sing in France and Italy.
Plenty of Variety
A wide range of styles and idioms from Bach to Britten, lots of English music including living composers.
A great home venue
St Mary’s Church Reigate - beautiful, large, and well set out for music.
Rewarding rehearsals
Productive but good humoured rehearsals where high musical expectations are fulfilled and mingled with plenty of fun.
Joining is painless...!
