We perform a regular series of concerts each year: the details for the current season can be seen here. The range of music Includes serious classical works, programmes of choral classics, West End musical pieces and the lighter popular music Included In our annual Christmas Cracker concert. Our full repertoire can be seen In our list of past concerts. Some Notable highlights have been Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast, Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, Berlioz’s Grande Messe des Morts and Mahler’s Eighth Symphony - the Symphony of a Thousand.
