Featured Event

Our next concert is on Saturday 5th April 2025. The choir is looking forward to performing for the second time under the baton of our new musical director Ben Noble. Haydn's The Creation was at the top of Ben's 'wish list' for his first major work with the choir. It hasn't been heard in Richmond since 2016. This masterpiece of the choral-orchestral repertoire is perfomed in collaboration with local instrumentalists, a Richmond School vocal ensemble and includes soloists from the Northern Ireland Opera.

We look forward to seeing you at St Mary's Church, Richmond.
