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.
Having recently said goodbye to our much-loved Principal Conductor Max Barley, in an emotional performance of The Messiah, we will be recruiting for his replacement in 2025.
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.
