Introduction

We are a choir of some 160-180 members with a wide age range including several students and have a reputation for giving concerts of the highest quality, presented with professional soloists and orchestra.  In Michael Ashcroft, our Musical Director, we have a professional musician of the highest calibre.   He is assisted very ably by Norman Harper, Assistant Musical Director, and Tim Sutton, rehearsal accompanist [*].  We are very fortunate to enjoy the tremendous support of our President, Ian Partridge CBE, and also that of our regular audience members who travel to hear and see our performances.  Of particular note, we value highly those supporters who are registered as Friends of the Choir.   In appreciation of this, the choir offers several benefits to its Friends in return and we would be very pleased to welcome you as a Friend of the Choir.  Click here to find out more about the Friends scheme. [*] For the season 2007/2008, Tim is taking some time off to work on some other projects.   We are delighted that one of our altos, Joanna Kent, has stepped in as rehearsal accompanist for the time being.   Thank you, Joanna. Please do come along on a rehearsal night if only to listen at first if you're not sure about joining   We would be delighted to see you.  The choir extends a warm welcome to new singing members in all voice parts.
