We have about 120 members and provide an opportunity within the community for amateur singers to become familiar with the works of the great composers. We aim to encourage people of all ages to work together in a friendly atmosphere to prepare music for a high standard of public performance under the direction of a professional conductor with professional soloists and orchestra.
Since the 1940s, our normal concert venue has been the fine Parish Church of St John in Cirencester’s Market Place. At present though, due to planned refurbishments in the Church, the facilities provided by Bingham Hall, King Street enable us to continue to offer Cirencester and district the only regular performances of large scale classical music locally. We feel that gatherings of over 400, performers and audience, to enjoy good music make a real contribution to the cultural life of the community.
Our Season consists of two terms, September to December and January to May, each ending with a concert performance. We have also recently included a Christmas Celebration in December 2007 and a Choral Workshop in February 2008. Rehearsals take place in St Peter’s Hall, St Peter’s Road on Tuesdays from 7.30 – 9.30pm.
