Welcome
"Where some amateur choruses can give the impression of dutiful performers, how heartening it was to see singers of all ages who clearly adore singing."
"... one of the most substantial and formidable choirs in London ... a vigorous and sophisticated choral ensemble ..."
Roderic Dunnett, Church Times
"... the impressive Wimbledon Choral Society ..."
Barry Millington, Evening Standard
"Wimbledon Choral Society make a lovely sound - clean, clear and bright. The uninhibited expressivity of those who sing for pleasure with no payment is distinct from the polished virtuosity of the professional choir. Scan the faces of the singers, here more than 200, and all you see is pride and excitement, a sense of investment and ownership [that] was justified in this concert."
Anna Picard, The Times
"The Wimbledon Choral Society were magnificent. Nothing seemed out of place - the women angelic, the men monastic - the intonation and timing exquisite. Neil Ferris controlled the chorus, soloists and Philharmonia impeccably."
Marc Bridle, Opera Today
Welcome to Wimbledon Choral Society and our website. We are a choir of 180 or so members drawn from a wide range of ages, professions and backgrounds, and have a reputation for giving concerts of the highest quality presented with professional soloists and orchestras. Click
here to read some of the
feedback we've had about our performances.
The season runs from September to June and typically consists of three main concerts in major venues in and around London and a local Christmas concert in the Wimbledon area. As well as promoting its own concerts, the choir is invited regularly to participate in other events with several of Britain’s leading orchestras and in collaboration with other choirs. The 2019/20 season starts on Monday 2nd September. See our
Join Us page for further details of when potential new members would be welcome to come along.
Concerts in the 2019/20 season find us in Cadogan Hall for Carl Orff's joyous
Carmina Burana with the Farnham Youth Choir, in Southwark Cathedral for Rachmaninov's wonderful
All-Night Vigil (Vespers), and a welcome return to the recently revamped Fairfield Halls in Croydon with a programme including Mozart's
'Great' Mass in C Minor. Something for everyone.
Making another return this year is the Merton SingFest. Please read
this news item for further details.
Hear about us on BBC Radio 3 as part of their
Meet My Choir feature - recorded in February 2015 and broadcast in October of that year.
