 Next event: Saturday 22nd October 2022, Autumn Concert Details

Charnwood Voices is a four part SATB choir based in Charnwood, Leicestershire. Founded as the Shepshed Singers in 1977, the choir has gained a well-deserved reputation
for performing neglected and unfamiliar music as well as better
known and popular pieces, both sacred and secular.
We rehearse
weekly throughout most of the year and aim to achieve a high standard
in both performance and presentation. Most of our work is a capella
although we do also perform larger works with an orchestra. Past
performances have included Handel’s Joshua, Hovhaness’
Magnificat, Duruflé's Requiem, Michna’s St Wenceslas
Mass, Britten’s St Nicolas, Karl Jenkins’ Requiem and
Mendelssohn’s Elijah. In October 2106 the choir performed Mozart’s C minor Mass and works by Vaughan Williams. Every two years we go on tour, either
to continental Europe or in Britain; our most recent tour was to Tuscany in April 2017 (see Tours). We can be heard here singing in Lucca Cathedral. As a choir we
have competed in music festivals and, in addition to our own concerts,
we are available for weddings, Christmas functions, and social or
fund-raising events.
Our Musical Director is
Nicholas Scott-Burt, who has conducted the choir since September 2015.
