Founded in 1905 by the joint efforts of the organists of the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court, Kingston Parish Church and St. Alban’s Church, Teddington (now the Landmark Arts Centre), this is the oldest still-running music society in Kingston! We meet once monthly October to March, usually on the first Saturday of the month, to sing English madrigals (between 6 and 8 out of our library of over 180!) and an anthem of the same era to begin. We rarely give concerts other than our Dinner, as the focus of the choir is the enjoyment of the music and of singing it, and that of exploring the vast catalogue of lesser-known madrigals in our collection, rather than performing it. In April, we cap the year with an Annual Dinner followed by singing, to which guests, family and retired members are a welcome audience. We usually number 25-35 members, of varying ability - though as we sight-sing from sheet music, the ability to read music is necessary.
Founded in 1905, by the joint efforts of the organists of the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court, Kingston Parish Church and St. Alban’s Church, Teddington (now the Landmark Arts Centre), Kingston-upon thames is the oldest music society in Kingston. We are an SATB group of 30-35 singers, with sight-reading ability, which meets monthly (usually the first Saturday) from October to March. Members meet to sight-read and sing English madrigals informally and do not normally give public performances. The Society has gradually built up a library of over 180 madrigals, of which about eight are sung at each meeting, usually including one anthem to begin. We welcome singers of all abilities, though the ability to read sheet music is necessary.
