3rd Season: 2019/2020

Who & Why

… remain largely unchanged. 

We are aiming to attract experienced singers, looking for some extra challenges in their musical life. 

We are hoping to push the boundaries of what a non-professional chamber choir can achieve, performing challenging repertoire with a few, focused rehearsals. 

Cost

The subscription is per-concert based at £25 in our third season.
