Under the leadership of Musical Director and soprano, Michelle Nova, the singers perform an eclectic repertoire of classical, sacred, operatic and modern choral music. In recent years, the choir has championed contemporary composers writing specifically for the female voice, placing these pieces alongside classics by the likes of Fauré, Vivaldi, Mozart and Holst.
The choir's unique sound is characterised by its vibrancy and fullness, a result of the 'Bel Canto' singing technique in which all the singers are trained.
New for 2026, the choir is inviting experienced singers to join them - especially women with an alto or lower soprano range. Visit their website to find out more about the audition process. This is an ambitious choir that combines a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with high standards: a chance to make a real contribution. less
