We aim to give two or three concerts each year, plus a Christmas concert of Music and readings. We are based in the village of Rolleston-on-Dove near Burton-upon-Trent, and draw our members – numbering around 50 at present - from a wide area of East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire. There is no formal audition. We rehearse each week during School term times, on Wednesday evenings. Visit our join us page if you would like to know more about how to get involved.  less
