Our summer 2026 concert was on Sunday 5 July in Sudbury Arts Centre at 3 pm.
Our summer concerts are always a somewhat lighter affair and this concert continued the tradition. Songs from musicals through the decades, fun songs and some celebratory songs. All good music, all very enjoyable to sit back to and soak up on a summer’s afternoon.
Our April 2026 concert included all (well quite a few) of your favourite opera choruses plus a few choral favourites as well. We are talking Handel’s Zadok the Priest, Faure’s Pie Jesu, Brahms’ Wie Lieblich, Verdi’s Hebrew Slaves, Mozart Lacrimosa, Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances, and some pure orchestral masterpieces including Mascagni’s Intermezzo and more. It was awesome.
For this concert we have the exciting young talent as our soprano soloist, Madeleine Perring. After graduating from the Royal College of Music she joined the Royal Academy’s Opera Studio. She was more than awesome!

Our Christmas concert for 2025 was at 3 pm on Saturday December 13th in St Gregory’s Church, Sudbury. We sang a lovely selection of traditional and not so traditional Christmas Carols with the audience being invited to join us on several of them.
One of the carols we sang was composed by Amy Bryce who is composing our 80th anniversary work and who also came to the concert. We really liked this addition to our carol repertoire and so did our audience.
And in the concert interval we had teas and coffees and mince piese and sausage rolls. Whats more to like?
Sudbury Choral Society went on tour, well sort of, all the way to Holy Trinity Church in Long Melford – the BIG church in the village. Sudbury Arts Centre was not available and St Gregory’s in Sudbury is too small, beautiful though it is.
We sang Rutter’s Requiem and also his Gloria – so a total RutterFest. His Requiem is performed all over the world by many of the world’s best choirs and now its our turn in Long Melford. It is beautiful with rich hamonies and exquisite melodies. And Rutter’s Gloria is equally well performed worldwide, to quote a review…”it’s hard not to get caught up in the overall excitement – Rutter
ideally captures the festive, celebratory nature of these texts while offering plenty of his signature melodies, catchy rhythmic structures, and vibrant orchestration, involving powerfully expressive brass, percussion, and organ in the Gloria and Te Deum.”
John Rutter is one of our foremost modern composers, conductors and all round singing enthusiast. He is stlil active, well very active in fact, both nationally and internationally and really is a National Treasure who we should celebrate. We hope you managed to come to our concert, if not, here is a short clip of us rehearsing in Long Melford Church on the day of the concert.

Our summer 2025 concert was on Sunday 6 July in Sudbury Arts Centre at 3 pm. Special guests at the concert were the choir from Acton Primary School.
Our summer concerts are always a somewhat lighter affair and this time we had a selection of Aesops’ Fables set to music by the ever popular Bob Chilcott, the beautiful Blue Bird song by Stanford, a choral version of Lennon and McCartney’s Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night which shows off their wonderful songwriting talents, and more. Plus some really cute numbers, complete with actions, from the Acton Primary School Choir.
And not forgetting some beautiful folk songs arranged for a four voice choir (basses, tenors, altos and sopranos) sung by Choir For Hire.
