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.
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. |
