A little about ourselves.........
Established in 1981, Romsey Choral Society numbers close to 80 singers - drawn from all over Hampshire and as far afield as Wiltshire and Dorset - and presents four concerts each year, two of which are in the historic surroundings of Romsey Abbey. The Society is now widely recognised as one of Hampshire’s most interesting and vibrant choral groups, having programmed a wide range of music, with everything from plainchant to jazz.
Singing calendar
The Season starts on 1st September annually and extends for a period of 12 months. Our Romsey Abbey concerts are presented in November and July augmented with a spring concert usually in the Hospital of St. Cross Church, Winchester. The Christmas period brings opportunities for carol singing either at our own Christmas concert, or more recently, by providing a choir in support of local charity groups for their fund raising carol concerts.
