GCC About Us

A message from our chairman:

A very warm welcome to the
Guildford Chamber Choir website.

What we do:

	We give concerts which raise money for local charities. (usually 2 or 3 main concerts per year) See our testimonials.
	We sing by invitation at Cathedrals such as Winchester, Southwark, Salisbury and Chichester, and at St George's Chapel, Windsor.
	We go on tour abroad, combining singing, sightseeing and fun. Countries visited include France, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Germany and, most recently, Italy.
	We have made 2 recordings for BBC Radio 3.

I hope it gives you an idea of the choir's dynamism in presenting exciting and varied repertoire in our concerts, for which we have earned excellent reviews.

Although Chairman of the choir for a relatively short time, I was one of the seventeen founder members who performed at the first concert in June 1980, and ever since then it has been a privilege to work with such a committed and talented group of singers, and also to see the choir going from strength to strength.

Past Principal Conductors of the choir include Peter Wright and Stephen Farr and we have also welcomed many guest conductors including Tim Brown, Jeremy Summerly, David Hill, Hilary Davan Wetton and Sebastian Forbes. We have revived lesser known works and, with help from generous sponsors, we occasionally commission new pieces.

I very much hope you will join us in our music-making, either as a singer, or as a member of our concert audiences.
