In December we were delighted to participate in a carol concert in support of the Honeypot charity which provides respite care for children who are carers.
Cynthia Swann, one of our members, volunteers with the Honeypot charity and the choir members were happy to support this important event.

And our own Romsey Choral Society Christmas concert happened on a snowy afternoon at the Chandlers Ford Methodist church. We had invited the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance to attend this event to publicise their service and to raise funds to continue the great work that they do. As a charity, this fund raising activity is vital and saves lives.
We were delighted to hear that the bucket collection raised £717.27.

Our next concert, which as usual in March is held in St.Cross church in Winchester, will be a celebration of music by Ralph Vaughan Williams. In October 2022 it was the 150 anniversary of the composer’s birth so it seems very appropriate that we are dedicating this concert to some of his best known and loved choral music.
We shall be performing his famous piece “The Lark Ascending “ for Violin solo and choir accompaniment, The Te Deum, Psalm 100 and the Mass in G minor.
This will be a real feast for lovers of Vaughan William’s music and a wonderful introduction to those who are not so familiar with his works.
For all the details of our next concert on 18th March 2023 please click on the "Next concert" page.

We are singing again and we'd love you to join us! It's nearly back to normal after the covid pandemic, which meant a whole host of safety measures, and we are singing again. And so we were delighted to have been able to present our concert in Romsey Abbey on 12th November 2022. For this concert we had 4 fabulous young soloists via the Josephine Baker Trust. We are delighted to be able to give them a platform as they launch their singing careers. And then at Christmas we were able to sing some old favourites and some more unusual seasonal music, supporting 2 important charities - details above. If you have been inspired to start the New Year with a new song and would like to give us a try - go to the "Join us" tab at the top of the page and let us know. The membership e-mail address goes through to Sarah Andrews, the first point of contact for new members, who will be in touch to tell you a bit more about the choir. Look forward to hearing from you!
