The Choir was formed in April 1969 by its first conductor, Robert Walker, and developed its own identity by performing, annually, two concerts of major works and a Christmas Wassail.
Jeffery Babb was appointed as the Choir’s 3rd conductor in 1979, during his time the choir continued to sing with considerable success with works ranging from a cappella 16th Century music and Bach's B Minor Mass, to specially commissioned Madrigals composed by its first Conductor along with music by 20th Century composers including by Vaughan Williams, Elgar, Britten, Bernstein, Ravel and Debussy. The Choir has joined forces with other Choral Societies to perform larger 19th century works such as Verdi's "Requiem", while intending to remain a small chamber choir for authentic performances of the Baroque and Classical repertoire. The Choir has visited Germany and has sung with the National Sinfonia and the English Chamber Orchestra. The Choir has also performed on BBC Radio.
November 2001 saw the appointment of Steven Maxson as the Choir’s fourth Musical Director since which time the Choir has performed music by composers including Bach, Brahms, Handel, Haydn, Faure, Mozart, Poulenc, Walton amongst others. Future plans include concert performances of Faure’s Requiem and Carl Jenkins’ Requiem.
