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.

Choir saddened by loss

Calne Choral is saddened to hear of the death of David White, who was central to the choir's resurgence. He came to Calne in 1970 and built on the work begin by David Cook and David Price. David was the choir's conductor from 1970 to 1988 and was instrumental in widening the range of works performed. Our thoughts go to his family.

Calne Choral thanks all its friends for their support in 2018

and wishes everyone a

Happy Christmas

and a peaceful New Year.

The choir is taking its Christmas break and will return for the first rehearsal of the new season on 7 January. Come along and join us as we get ready to perform Mozart's Requiem at our April concert.
