WANTAGE CHORAL SOCIETY

WELCOME TO

 
WELCOME TO WANTAGE CHORAL SOCIETY

We are a thriving mixed voice choir with around 50 members performing three concerts per year. We have a long tradition of combining the classics with contemporary music and selections from operas, stage shows and films

Last year, we were delighted to announce the appointment of Hannah Zaki as our new
Music Director. Hannah joined us in September and conducted our 2023 Christmas concert when we performed Handel: Zadok the Priest and Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne and Mozart: Coronation Mass in C Major. 
 
In March we performed the Fauré and Duruflé Requiems, with orchestra and soloists (Sofia Kirwan-Baez and Jack Redman, below). The concert was a sell-out and very well received. 




















Our Summer concert - 'Feel the Spirit' -  was in early  July in Letcombe Regis Village Hall when we performed music by Bob Chilcott, John Rutter and George Gershwin. The concert was again a sell-out and thoroughly enjoyed by  all - audience and performers alike.

Our Christmas concert will be on Saturday
14 December in Wantage Parish Church.Music will include Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Ralph Vaughan Willians and Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten together with other seasonal  items. 

A date for your diary!
