Choir managers for the year 2011/12 are Zoe Croft and Jenna Maloney.
The choir primarily sings classical pieces, some of which you will know, and some that will be unknown to everyone.
We are a large friendly group of students, staff and members of the community all with a love of singing. Rehearsals are every wednesday 5.30pm - 7.30pm in Park Building. There are no auditions, all abilities and experience (or lack of!) welcome. We are a sociable group and like to have a drink afterwards
We give 2 main concerts a year - in December and May, and also sing for the University carol service. Our most recent performance was of Mozart's Requiem.
Other recent concerts include performances of Ottorino Respighi - Laud to the Nativity, Gordon Jacob - The New-Born King, Brahm’s German Requiem and a collection of pieces by Finzi and Britten.
If you want to take things a little more seriously you can audition for the chamber singers, a group of about 20 who learn and sing more challenging works.
The chamber singers sang live on Radio 4 to promote the world premiere of Handel’s Funeral Anthem. Listen to it here
The chamber singers recently went on tour to Germany where they performed 3 concerts of both sacred and secular music spanning the centuries.
