The choir has about 70 singers. We don’t audition but ask you to just come along and see how you fit in.
The orchestra has around 40 regular members with strong strings and wind sections. We bring in additional players where needed for concerts.
Orchestral players are auditioned by a trial period in the orchestra.
Alexander Walker has led us since 2006. He is in demand as a conductor with orchestras, choirs, opera and ballet companies in the United Kingdom and all over the world.
He works regularly for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and has toured with the Royal Ballet to many parts of the world.
We are a large mixed voice choir and a full symphony orchestra – both led by professional musicians.
