Programme Note
Who we are
The choir comprises of 13 singers who live in or near Sheffield, UK, meet to sing and explore the repertoire, and give at least one concert each year.
Our repertoire extends from the Renaissance to the present day, sacred or secular, unaccompanied or with instruments. We often perform new works, including the compositions and arrangements of our former director John Kilpatrick, the late Percy Snowdon, the late John Earwaker, current director George Nicholson and choir member J Robin Hughes.
After starting under John Earwaker in the 1990s, for 13 years or more the choir was directed by John Kilpatrick, and since September 2014 it has been under the leadership of George Nicholson.
We sometimes give joint concerts with the Caccia Wind Quintet. We also perform at events organised by Classical Sheffield.
