With a regular membership of around 80, this lively, well-established Choir, under the leadership of John Bayley, and accompanied by Darren Hogg, gives at least 4 concerts a year, with a varied repertoire, in and around Solihull. 

  • Rehearsals are held weekly on Tuesday evenings at St Peter’s School, Whitefields Road, Solihull, from 7.30 to 9.45 p.m.  New members are always made very welcome (especially tenors) and a simple audition takes place a few weeks after settling in.

  • The Choir is keen to encourage new music and young singers by commissioning, establishing links with junior choirs and offering free membership and music to young singers under its scholarship scheme.

  • We are delighted to have the services of Gaynor Keeble, the well-known local mezzo-soprano, as vocal coach.  Members benefit from regular workshop voice training sessions.

As well as a busy concert schedule, the Choir enjoys a varied social programme, including concert tours both in this country and abroad.  In 2008 we toured Poland - click here to find out all about it.  In 2009 we undertook a mini-tour to Sidmouth, and we're planning a tour of Hungary for 2011.

  •  For information about any aspect of the Choir, either specific concert information, or to join, you are welcome to ring the Concert Secretary on 01564 779962, or click here to send an email.

  • If you would like to support the Choir in a non-singing capacity and receive a discount on concert tickets at the same time, please contact the Friends’ Secretary on 0121 744 7694.

We run an annual Young Singers' Scholarship programme to encourage young people to take part in choral singing.  Please click here for details.
