After the summer holidays, we are ready to start rehearsals on Friday 6th September preparing choruses from Handel’s Samson for our next concert in October. We rehearse in Barts-the-Less at 7 pm, which is in the grounds of Barts Hospital.

This will be followed by our Come & Sing in November of Mendelssohn’s Elijah, then we’ll be working on repertoire for our Christmas Concert with audience carols.

If you enjoy singing and like an informal approach, then join our choir. We welcome new members. For more information, send a message via our Contact Us page.

An evening with Dvorak & Cherubini

Join us for an evening in the company of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto that tells of unrequited love, followed by Cherubini’s Requiem in C Minor, singled out for praise by Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms some two hundred years prior.

Our concerts are currently hosted at ‘The Musicians’ Church’ – Holy Sepulchre Church, Holborn Viaduct – opposite the Old Bailey, around the corner from Barts Hospital.

All ticket profits are donated to Barts Cancer Unit towards that something extra for patients and staff. It would be great to have your company too.

Christmas is coming!

Barts Great Hall is now closed for a few years for renovation. Our new home is Holy Sepulchre without Newgate – just down the road opposite the Old Bailey!  The Team at Holy Sepulchre have given us a great welcome – and we held our first public event on Saturday – a “Come & Sing” Mozart Requiem and Nelson Mass. The orchestra of approximately 30 strong and about 60 singers had a wonderful musical day in the Musician’s Church.

Thank you Holy Sepulchre – we have arrived and feel fully welcomed!
