As a choir, the Consort has a wide repertoire, ranging from Early Church mUsic through to Folksongs and modern works. Each programme is different and reflects the wishes of those for whom we perform. Since the Consort’s formation it has raised, through its choral concerts, many thoUsands of pounds for a wide range of charities and churches. It is always glad to consider invitations from such organisations. Its services are given voluntarily, although a contribution towards its mUsic library and other expenses is gratefully received.

In addition to singing at Fund Raising events, the choir is available to sing at private functions, weddings, funerals and so on  Us().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
