WELCOME TO WANTAGE CHORAL SOCIETY
We are a thriving mixed voice choir with over 50 members. Each year we perform three concerts – two normally in Wantage Parish Church with the summer concert taking place in Letcombe Regis Village Hall. We have a long tradition of combining the classics with contemporary music including selections from operas, stage shows and films
Our first concert of 2026 was in March.
We performed Vivaldi - Gloria, Haydn - Te Deum and Mozart - Solemn Vespers K339 and were delighted to welcome back the four splendid soloists from our previous concert - Catherine Hooper - soprano, Mia Seracino - Alto Toshi Ogita - Tenor and Jack Redman - Bass.
Our summer concert was in late June in Letcombe Regis Village Hall when we will be sang Little Jazz Madrigals by Bob Chilcott,
For the Beauty of the Earth by John Rutter and
A Season to Sing by Joanna Forbes L'Estrange.
It was a sell-out and the evening, which included drinks and nibbles during the interval, was much enjoyed.
Our next concert will be on Saturday
28 November at 7.30 in Wantage Parish Church. Music will include A Winters Night - Cecilia McDowall and A Winters Day by Sarah Quartel
Rehearsals for the concert will start on Tuesday 8 September at 7.30pm in Wantage CE Primary School, Newbury Street, Wantage.
