Our Repertoire

Over the years, the choir has developed a wide repertoire of music – ranging from classical and folk to swing, jazz to humour, rock to ballad and a wide variety of songs from shows.  The choir continues to perform concerts to suit all occasions and are always working to develop and perform an even wider repertoire.
