"This picks me up every time and is the highlight of my week at the moment. We will keep singing!" Louise
 

A non-auditioning women's choir meeting weekly in the wonderful setting of the Abbey grounds. This choir attracts singers who might not identify themselves as traditional choral singers but who still want to sing beautiful polyphonic harmony. Come to regular sessions to build skills and get confident. We work towards occasional gigs as part of the Abbey calendar but the emphasis is not solely on performance. 

​

Repertoire

An eclectic repertoire of songs in acapella harmony including folk, blues and gospel. We explore music from aural traditions around the world, for example Celtic lullabies and Georgian healing songs as well as Emily's own compositions and work written for unaccompanied voices by writers from the Natural Voice Network.
