We have grown steadily in size over the past few years. New members find the choir welcoming and are drawn into well-focused rehearsals, nimbly accompanied by Paul Ayres. There is no formal audition and voice part tapes are available to help those less confident in reading music, but a certain degree of musical literacy is assumed.

The choir has an ever-expanding repertoire, and this year we are looking forward to the challenge of works by Brahms, Fauré, Handel and Rutter. We are also looking forward to giving more European concerts.

Robin Kimber has spent much of his professional life involved with music in London and Oxford. He looks forward to the challenges of guiding the choir through this year's programme and is pleased to be leading them in another new season of music making.
