A very warm welcome to Guildford Chamber Choir’s website.
We are a small project choir performing a varied programme of three concerts a year, while raising money for local charities.
We are now preparing for our summer concert, A Season to Sing – a joyful and imaginative celebration of music inspired by the changing seasons. The centrepiece of the programme is a brand-new choral work by Joanna Forbes L’Estrange, co-commissioned by the choir. Drawing on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, A Season to Sing reimagines the iconic concertos for choir and string quartet, using texts from poetry and scripture to bring each season vividly to life. We are thrilled that Joanna will be joining us as Guest Conductor, alongside the renowned Coull Quartet.
The programme also features a selection of English madrigals and Bob Chilcott’s Little Jazz Madrigals, performed in collaboration with members of Guildford Jazz.
We look forward to welcoming you on Saturday 28 June at Holy Trinity Church.

We welcome new singers to the choir!
We welcome new singers to the choir!
We would particularly welcome hearing from any new basses!
We are a smallish, friendly project choir, singing three concerts a year with additional events such as an annual Cathedral visit. Rehearsals take place during a 3 to 4 week period before each performance, dates of which are published at least 6 months in advance. Singers may normally sing in a particular concert only if they have attended all the rehearsals. These usually number between 5 and 7, depending on the concert programme.
The choir is run by an elected committee of volunteer members with our Principal Conductor as an advisory member.
All members contribute to the smooth running of the choir by distributing publicity materials, selling tickets, helping to prepare the concert venues on the day, and assisting with post-concert parties.

Guildford Chamber Choir was founded in 1980 with the express aim of performing choral music of the finest quality from the 16th century to the present day. Over the years, the choir has remained loyal to this aim, gaining an enviable reputation both for the high standard of its singing and for performing varied and often unusual repertoire. As well as being at the forefront of Guildford music-making, the Guildford Chamber Choir’s reputation has stretched beyond the town and county boundaries. More about the choir....
