Book the Singers
"You were collectively superb... two hours after you left the room the audience was still talking about your performance..."
The Singers perform for a wide range of occasions including conferences, University ceremonies and services, banquets, receptions and weddings. The choir offers a highly-varied repertoire and range of styles from which the Director creates programmes to suit the occasion.
Whether singing jazz or folk, medieval plainsong or classical, show tunes or opera, the Singers’ performances are always compelling – with audiences moved both to tears and to laughter.
Most full choir songs are sung unaccompanied. For solos and small groups the Singers may be joined by one or more of their excellent musicians on violin, double bass, lute, harp or piano.
Listen to track extracts from our CD 'Bittersweet' recorded in June 2016.
