We rehearse on Thursday evenings at 7.30 to 9.30pm at St. John the Divine in Kew Road, Richmond TW9. New singers always welcome.
In a normal year, we perform at least four public concerts in the London Borough of Richmond and locally in other boroughs. Our secular concerts have had themes of "Shakespeare in Song", "The Flowers appear on the Earth" and "Pictures at an Exhibition", utilising venues such as the beautiful Victorian Normansfield Theatre in Teddington, and the arts venue at The Exchange, in Twickenham among others. Our concerts of sacred music have been performed at St Anne's Church, Kew Green, St James's Church, Hampton Hill, St Mary's Sunbury on Thames, and St Mary's Church, Twickenham.
To celebrate the choir's 50th Anniversary in 2018, we enjoyed a bumper musical trip down memory lane to a packed church. Other years have provided opportunities to sing a Summer Soirée, or to support local events.
Our Christmas concerts with organ, while traditional at heart, are exciting affairs, often including string or brass quartet, handbells, and a peal of tower bells in the hour before the concert, as well as audience participation in carols. Many of our concerts have been given to support charitable causes.
The choir maintains links with choirs in Fontainebleau in France, and Konstanz in southern Germany.
