What We Sing
Updated 30/06/09

Our music traditionally consists of light airs, madrigals, part songs and the occasional longer work, combining a taste for both the secular and the sacred. Recent examples were medleys of "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Les Misérables". Past performances have included such works as Fauré's Requiem, Stainer's Crucifixion and Vivaldi's Gloria.
