YCS - General

General Information

Now in its twenty sixth year, Yateley Choral Society is at the forefront of choral singing in Hampshire.  Since its inception, the Society's aim has been to achieve an exceptionally high standard in the singing of the major choral works, as well as the lesser-known pieces and occasional music. The Society calls upon its resources to engage full symphony orchestras, together with soloists from the major British opera houses, including Covent Garden and English National Opera.

Most of our concerts take place in Yateley, but we have also given performances in Southwark Cathedral and at Eton College and have toured to Bruges, Belgium.  Our members come from a wide area, drawn by the sheer enjoyment of performing great music and the challenge of hard work at regular rehearsals, under the enthusiastic guidance of our Musical Director, Rufus Frowde.

More about Rufus

Our next concert is on Saturday 22nd November in St Swithun's Church, Yateley. It will include St. Nicholas by Benjamin Britten and the Gloria by Vivaldi.

Our Christmas 2007 concerts, together with the recent 'Come and Sing' raised well over £2000 for local hospices.

The Society has been affiliated to the National Federation of Music Societies since 1980 and has been a registered charity since 1987.
