In the charity's own words
We are a choir of around 30 voices who perform two to three concerts a year in Newbury and the surrounding villages. Usually two of these concerts are with orchestra, the players of which are local and/or young musicians. The choir sings music of all periods from AD1500 to the present day. To encourage young musicians and audiences we offer them free or heavily reduced ticket prices
