A local choir for all singers
Established in 1886, the South West London Choral Society is an amateur choir of about sixty-five members.
During each of three yearly terms, we rehearse and perform a different work, usually in one of Wandsworth’s churches. We sing a variety of choral music and aim to make it enjoyable for performers and audience alike.
We have also given concerts in St Omer, Calais, Bruges, Lille, Brussels and Ghent. In 2000 we performed our Millennium Concert, A Thousand Years in Words and Music, as part of the Festival weekend in Elham Parish Church in Kent.
In 2005 and 2008 we gave concerts at St Peter’s Church in Harrold, Bedfordshire, and in 2006 we gave a concert at Farm Street Church in Central London. In July 2011 we returned to Ghent having been invited back to sing in the city's annual Music Festival.
There is usually a group going for a drink after rehearsal and we hold a variety of other social events during the year, including post-concert parties, barbecues, carol singing and quiz evenings.
Thinking of joining a choir?
We are pleased to welcome all voices - soprano, alto, tenor and bass. We do not hold auditions and ask only that you are enthusiastic, committed - and sing in tune.
We meet every Monday at 7.30pm in Balham, South-West London - if you are interested then please follow one of the links below.
