In 1985 the Choir became an Oakham House society open to Ryerson students, faculty and staff. In 1987 membership was opened to the general public.
The Choir is currently made up of Ryerson undergraduates and alumni, current and retired faculty members and people from all ages and walks of life in the community. It ranges in size from 60-80 members. A core of long term members makes it possible to maintain high standards and perform a demanding repertoire.
Under Matthew's direction, the Choir has performed over 50 concerts and on several occasions performed at Ryerson graduation ceremonies. In 1986 the Choir competed in three categories at the Kiwanis Festival, winning first place in two categories and receiving high marks in all three.
The Choir continues to perform two major choral works per season in at least two concerts accompanied b... less

text: Keats (from Ode to a Nightingale)
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft names in many a musèd rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain

VI) of the Requiem that I composed in 2007, as performed by the Orlando Chamber Singers under the direction of Gregory Ruffer on May 18, 2008. I had wanted to write a requiem for quite some time, having been swept away by the Requiems of Brahms, Faure, Rutter, Durufle, Mozart and Daley.
"Life's work well done,
Life's race well run,
Life's crown well won,
Now comes rest."
--- Edward Hazen Parker
If [they] have given you delight
By aught that [they] have done,
Let [them] lie quiet in that night
Which sHall be yours anon:
And for that little, little span
The dead are borne in mind
Seek not to question other than
The [deeds] [they] leave behind.
--- Kipling

We are the Dover House Singers, a local Choir based in Putney.
We rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 8-9.15pm at St Margaret's Church Hall on Putney Park Lane. Term starts next Wednesday 4th September.
Rehearsals fee is £5 per session but there is no charge for your first attendance.
About us:
We are a local friendly Choir that has been going for several years now. We currently have about 30 members and we sing a wide range of music from all around the world.
We sing both acapella and with piano accompaniment but there is no requirement to be able to read music.
We put on concerts twice a year and recently enjoyed singing at the Barnes Fair.
We also meet outside rehearsal times for social events!
Recruitment:
We would love to recruit new members and welcome anyone that wants to come along and see what it's all about. We don't audition new members - just turn up and join in!
Like most Choirs we have an unequal balance of the sexes - men of Putney, we need you!
