We are a mixed voice choir of 50-60 people, who, although based in Shrewsbury, the historic county town of Shropshire, draw our membership from around the county.
We rehearse in the Alington Hall, Shrewsbury School on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm promptly during term time, and present 3 concerts a year, one of which will be a major work, the others with a more varied programme.The summer concert is usually our lightest.
The choir will celebrate its 25th Birhday in 2012 with a concert conducted jointly by our founder conductor, Ian Ward, who is returning from his French home, and our current director David Leeke.
We have been fortunate to appear as the feature choir in three BBC Songs of Praise programmes.
