The
Newbury Chamber Choir is a group with up to 40 active members and
performs major concerts with an orchestra three of four times a
year. In the summer we give concerts in villages around the Newbury
area. We have members covering a wide span of ages, occasionally with
parents and their offspring in the choir. Our main focus is European Sacred Choral music but we do like to
explore other composers from different periods. We usually perform in
the original language, which can be interesting and challenging!
Our Musical Directoris
Edward Lambert, a professional choral trainer and composer who joined us
in September 2002.
The choir has its own chamber organ
which we use to accompany the soloists or the choir in quieter items.
We
also encourage local young instrumentalists by bringing them into the
orchestra and we involve current and previous members of the Hampshire
and West Berkshire Youth Orchestras. |
