Welcome to Orwell Singers

 

We aim to provide an enjoyable opportunity for people to sing a wide repertoire of music, both secular and non-secular.

We are a very friendly group and now meet at 7.45pm on Monday evenings in Barrington Village Hall where we have more space for our growing numbers.

Our members come not only from Orwell and other surrounding villages but also from Cambridge and Royston. At the moment the choir consists of 15 sopranos, 15 altos, 6 basses and 6 tenors. You do not need to be able to read music, just to enjoy singing, and new members are most welcome, with no audition.

We put on a Christmas Concert in December, a Spring concert in March and a Summer Concert in late June or July.  Our programmes include a wide range of music of various styles, a bit of audience participation, fun items and songs from the shows.

Our Summer Concert 2024 was a very special occasion, held on Friday 5th July in St John’s College Chapel. In view of this splendid location the centre piece was Missa Brevis by Mozart.
