From Philip Springate

our Director of Music

Being a member of Calne Choral

As a rural choral society Calne Choral punches above it’s weight mounting large-scale performances, usually with an orchestra, of works from the choral repertoire.

 

We are a community choir with no audition process. Being a music reader speeds up learning but is not essential. Some of our finest performers would not consider themselves music readers. With a bit of spadework there are ways in which lines can be learnt. Links to useful online resources are regularly given on this site.

 

Commitment and enthusiasm are the key words for Calne Choral to thrive and make music that we can all enjoy and be proud to be part of.  We are a friendly choir and rehearsals are not only fun but a social occasion too.

Spanning the centuries Calne Choral’s special Music & Arts Festival concert will start with a concert performance of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. As a stunning contrast, the choir is delighted to announce that local composer, James Harpham, has composed a special Jazz Mass for them. This will be the  first performance of this work especially for this year’s Festival.
