Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the winter are performed at St. Peters by the Waterfront, Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com

Der eine red das, der andere red dies, das macht mir gar oft die Laune mies. Die Alti und Soprane, die schweigen allzu sehr, die Bässe und Tenöre aber noch viel mehr! Kein Chor auf Erden kann schweigen so lang, das macht mir gar oft das Herze bang.« Voice: Concert Choir of the Berlin Girls Choir (Virtual Choir - individually sung and recorded without conducting): »My Choir has gone on forced vacation, I know exactly why I am so sad. One says this, the other says that, it often puts me in a bad mood. The alti and sopranos are all too silent, but the basses and tenors are even more so! No Choir on earth can remain silent for so long, that often frightens my heart.«  less

Conducted by the Luxembourg native Pierre Cao, the Choir is now considered to be among the best in Europe. Using a flexible formation, ranging up to 32 singers, Arsys explores all choral repertoire, both a cappella and accompanied, from early music – Renaissance, Baroque, Classical – through Romantic and 20th century music to that of the present day. As an enthusiastic advocate of modern repertoire, Arsys regularly commissions new works by living composers. Conductor Pierre Cao, very attentive to the historical context of each era, sculpts the text of each work with patience and humanity, giving Arsys its unique sound unanimously acclaimed by professionals and public alike:”The sound of this Choir is of incredible homogeneity and clarity: perfect intonation, respect of the vocal line and diction, dynamics, and a particular emphasis on the words, which bestows increased life...    less

It is open to all no matter what musical background, if any you may have. We "sing for the the sheer joy of it" and do local concerts. Recently we have sung at a large church inter-denominational christmas gathering and the highlight of the year to sing at a wedding at the request of the Bride and Groom.
