We are a mixed, non-auditioned choir of around 35 who rehearse on Wednesdays at 8pm in central Berkhamsted. Our members range in age from 25 to 72!
We cover a wide range of music including classical, traditional, jazz, swing, contemporary and world. We have sung in Xhosa, German, French and Latin are willing to try pretty much anything. Join us to experience everything from Messiah to Sinatra, Abba to Rutter, alongside unique pieces arranged by local talent. |

Our choir is led by Nicholas Bannan, an experienced musician and voice researcher who has recently returned from teaching at the University of Western Australia, where he directed The Winthrop Singers and led an international research project on the evolutionary origins of the human singing voice. He was also Assistant Director of the choir of St Mary’s Cathedral, Perth.
The choir was founded in 2014 and is currently managed by Laura Gosling and a small committee of volunteers as a non-profit organisation. We support local events and causes and promote local musicians and song-writers where we can. There is a termly fee to join the choir, once you are sure we're the right choir for you, but exceptions can be made for students, the elderly and unwaged. |
