	General Information
	Now in its thirtieth 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.

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.

The programme will include 'Rio Grande' by Constant Lambert and 'Five Mystical Songs' by Vaughan Williams.
