Welcome to The Orpheus Singers



An exciting ladies’ choir in South East Essex
The Orpheus Singers

NEXT CONCERT

CONCERTS
25/9/10
St Nicholas Church, Canvey
Time: 7.30pm




David Clark, Musical DirectorFormed in April 2008, within six months numbers quickly rose to 150. The members are women of all ages with an enthusiasm and a readiness to sing with others, and to achieve a standard which is enjoyed by our audiences.

The inaugural concert, planned for November 2008, sold out several weeks beforehand.  An additional matinee concert was added – and this also sold out as soon as it was announced.  Following the sell-out of yet another performance one week later, a fourth – and final – inaugural concert was announced. Then followed a full programme of concerts in 2009 and now the choir offers at least six concerts a year.

Although our members are mainly amateur musicians, we work with professional Musical Directors and soloists and enjoy a repertoire which encompasses a wide range of music, from folk songs, popular show music and spiritual songs to modern classics by Benjamin Britten and John Rutter. 

The response to the formation of this new choir is a complete surprise, having apparently uncovered a need among the ladies of South East Essex.  Rehearsals take place in Hadleigh, Essex and members say how much they look forward to Tuesday evenings, when hard work is combined with laughter, and professional training takes place in a warm and friendly atmosphere.  Friendships also have the opportunity to grow in the many social events.

The ladies of the Orpheus Singers are delighted to be a new part of the local music community, and we hope that you will regularly enjoy our concerts!
