In the charity's own words
The Stondon Singers present usually four public choral concerts per annum. These may be unaccompanied, with organ or small instrumental ensemble. Our members are drawn from a wide area of Essex and Suffolk and rehearse weekly with a professional conductor. From time to time we undertake other performances and activities such as cathedral visits, concerts in aid of other charities and workshops.
