Recent Press Comments
'20th Century
Choral Spectacular' "Alexander Chaplin conducted
the ensemble with panache and expressive variations of tempo
and mood, and the choir responded splendidly and with
conviction."
'Of the
Father's Heart Begotten' Seasonal Christmas music.
"It was interesting to compare the mystical atmosphere
of Of the Father's Heart Begotten with the nimble,
jazzy John Rutter Shepherd's Pipe Carol. The contrast
could not have been greater and it showed how flexible this
choir is."
"Haydn's Te
Deum was sung by the choir with crisp clarity and neat
responses to the changes of mood."
Brahms - Ein
deutsches Requiem "We have come to expect
wonders from Wokingham Choral, but on this occasion they
surpassed expectation and gave a faultless performance
".

Come Sing with us for 2008 - 2009
|
Singing is good for you, ask any member of Wokingham Choral
Society. If you haven't sung for a while but know, or think
you might like choral music, make 2008 the year you join us
and rediscover the joy of singing.
We are an enthusiastic and hard-working choir who rehearse on
Thursday evenings from 7.45 to 9.45 pm at Emmbrook School,
Wokingham. This season's rehearsals start on September 11th.
Please feel free to come and sit in at one or two rehearsals
before you make any decisions.
We are particularly keen to encourage young singers, and so we
are offering a substantially reduced subscription to anyone
who is 25 years old and under.
We currently have opportunities for sopranos, altos and
especially tenors and basses.
For more information please call Jos Bowyer on 0118 978 1918
or click
here to email or just turn up on September 11th at 7pm at
Emmbrook School to meet us.
