We exist to share the joy of high-quality large-scale choral music

Founded in 1970, our 120-plus members perform a variety of music in Plymouth and elsewhere in the country and abroad. We have won widespread acclaim and concerts often include world-class soloists and musicians. 'In the top 10% of amateur choirs in the UK' says internationally renowned tenor and choir Patron Neil Jenkins.

LATEST NEWS

Rehearsals have started for Carmina Burana and Dances of Time. Everyone is invited to join us for a really good sing. Just turn up at 7pm to collect your music at Meade King Hall, Plymouth College. Cake will be available in the interval!

I've never been to a concert like this before and didn't think I'd like it. They were amazing!

The highlight for me was the duet between the counter tenor and the soprano. Magnificent.
