We
are a choir of 35 singers who come from the Bedwyns and
beyond!
The
choir was formed in 1999 and is open to all adults who love to
sing.
There
is no audition or subscription fee to join and the ability to
read music is an advantage but not a requirement.
Rehearsals are
on Monday evenings 7.30pm-9.00pm at Great Bedwyn School during
our two seasons a year:
Our
Spring Season this year starts on February 4th and consists of
8 rehearsals and 2 performances.
We shall be singing at the Easter Service in St Mary`s
Church and for the Hungerford Rotary Club at their St George`s
Day Celebration.
Full details of our Spring rehearsal programme are
available on request.
Our Christmas Season starts in
November and lasts for 6 weeks.
We
sing at the local Christmas and Easter Church Services and at
other local events including weddings, funerals and concerts.
Our
repertoire is wide-ranging and covers music sacred and
secular, serious and whimsical, from the 16th
century to the present day.
We
have recently recorded a Christmas CD which has
been available
in
local shops.
The
production of this CD has been made possible with a grant from
Awards For All and
we are most grateful for their support:

Samples from the CD are currently being played
on this webpage.
Copies
of the CD are also available on request.
Our
conductor is Katey Thomas, who is a professional orchestral
musician and currently training as a choral conductor with the
national
organisation Sing for Pleasure.
For
further information and to join, please email Katey at:
