Our members are being given the option of joining Zoom rehearsals starting 15th June until 24th August. They’ll be run by John Chillingworth who is taking over from David Butcher as our conductor.
John is coming to us from Lexden Choral Society, bringing a wealth of musical experience. We wish David all the best for his future ventures – after many years as our leader he will be much missed!
Sadly we have had to cancel/postpone our spring and summer concerts because of the COVID 19 virus. We will resume normal activities in September 2020. In the meantime, keep well and safe!

We’ve had some lovely comments about yesterday’s summer concert, including this one on the Sudbury, Suffolk UK Facebook group:
Tickets for our Summer Concert 23rd June at 3.30pm in St Peter’s are selling fast, could be the combo of a primary school choir (aaah), cake (yum) and some truly excellent numbers on the theme of childhood, including some Disney Dazzlers!
Also on 23rd June at 7pm there’s a bonus concert in St Peter’s, The Guild of Horn Players Quartet which features the top brass of French horn players in the UK. You name it, they can play it on the French horn so not to be missed. Tickets available from the same sources as the Summer Concert, Compact Music, North St Sudbury or the Tourist Information Office.
