We run inspirational residential courses and training programmes, create remarkable concerts and performances, and work in partnership to get singing happening in schools and open settings. We do it because singing together at the highest level transforms young people's lives, and we want to make sure that as many as possible get the chance to experience it for themselves.  less

[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir] Lots of mixed choirs don’t have enough Male singers, and many established Male voice choirs are not managing to find younger recruits (see my series of ...

Herter, with assistance from Ryszard Gieros and Alfred Stefankiewicz. Almost from the very beginning, it has been afliated with St. John’s Archcathedral in Warsaw, initially as a boys’ choir. It has performed with many Polish and foreign symphony orchestras. Foreign tours have taken the choir to over twenty countries. It has won numerous awards at interNational choral competitions, including those in Lecco, Italy (1997), Moscow (2000), Prague (2002, 2003, 2004, 2017), Międzyzdroje, Poland (2004), Warsaw (2013, 2015, 2016), Grójec, Kraków and Łomża (2017).

"Sound an Alarm", from Handel's "Judas Maccabaeus", arranged Harold Noble. Performed by Gresley Male Voice Choir, Swadlincote, October 2016
