As a Choral Collegium members are members of several choirs and hail from differing musical traditions including traditional western, chinese and hindustani.

Rehearsals of Bach Wachet Auf and songs begin at 8.15 pm on Friday 7th February 2025 at Hill Close Gardens. Yes there is plenty of time for tea and cake. We build to our summer performance on 28th June 2025 with the sinfonietta quartet with soloists and choral scholars. Thankyou donors!

You can see our 2025 choral year in the On Tour section. Our young members lead busy lives so we do not commit to our own three large scale choral works a year. When we do our own larger scale concerts with soloists and orchestra we meet with Accompaniest Adrian Moore.

Join our in person rehearsals to transform your musical vision into reality. We are an ensemble rehearsing and performing the classical repertoire and songs thanks to our generous donors. We make music for the love of it. We are always ready to sing your favourite piece or celebrate a loved ones life.

Members meet as a small group on Fridays for sectional rehearsals of the repertoire and songs at Hill Close Gardens.

Save the date!

FRIDAY FREE STUFF!

We have no concert in the easter term. Vocalists who can sight read (or would like to learn) a SATB score are very welcome to join us on friday evenings at Hill Close at no charge as no conductor or accompaniest is provided.

We start 2025 with the Mozart Mass in C (Peters), Bach Wachet Auf, Vivaldi, Brahms and Alexanders Feast Choruses. Mozart Requiem later in the year and of course Messiah subject to donors and venue.

During the year we get to sing many shorter songs and practice these. Musescore PDF scores provided. Scores (Novello) can be hired from Warwick library and bought from Presto Leamington Spa.
