On Saturday 28 June Kingston Choral Society (KCS) returns to St Andrew’s Church, Surbiton, KT6 4DS to present Rhymes & Charms. A selection of charming songs from across five centuries which evokes green Summer meadows and skies buzzing with life. There is a particular emphasis on the elusive magic of flying creatures, with bees, bats, ladybirds and crickets, featuring alongside birds of many feathers, including swans, cuckoos, crows, owls and magpies.
Contemporary composer Kerry Andrew’s Rhymes & Charms for Flyaway Things inspired the concert’s title. The piece was commissioned by Making Music after Andrew won their prize at the 2010 British Composer Awards. KCS Musical Director Andrew Griffiths’ imaginative programme juxtaposes this modern collection of “very sweet” songs about nature with well-loved renaissance madrigals, and further blends tradition with modernity with a performance of the beautifully harmonised arrangements of John Rutter’s folk song cyc... less

The chorus focuses on improving singing techniques and making chords "ring" while at the same time simply having fun. We love it when a 4 part chord is correctly tuned and the chord just locks together and harmonics (or overtones) ring out loud and strong.
We compete every year in local contest as a mean of measuring our progress against similar groups but we just love to perform for the public and so our contest activities are very well balanced with public performance. We also have a great time together as one of our goals is to provide a place where men can gather and enjoy their interest in singing.
The Harbour Capital Chorus was formed in Wellington on February 4th, 1988 following pioneering work by the “Co-ordinated Chemists” Quartet for several years prior to that. The Harbour Capital Chorus has since ... less
