The South West Chamber Choir was formed in 1995 and performs a wide variety of choral music, from Tudor times to the present. Concert venues have ranged from mediaeval halls to country churches and even a derelict cemetery chapel. We also do an annual singing weekend at a cathedral or abbey which enables us to present church music in its proper liturgical setting.

Singing in a small group is a very enjoyable and challenging experience, where intonation and balance are of paramount importance, and provides an opportunity to perform works that are less well known and unsuitable for larger choirs and choral societies, such as church anthems, madrigals and romantic partsongs. Singers are auditioned, and are expected to be able to sight-read to a reasonable standard. Some familiarity with the pronunciation of French, Italian, German and Latin is an advantage!
