Egham Choral

Egham Choral was founded in 1953 by Dr Kenneth Pankhurst, who was at the time the Organist at Egham Parish Church, and first met on November the 5th. We understand that the first performance was on the 8th of December in the Old Egham Methodist Church.

The stated object of the choir since its inception in 1953 is to rehearse and perform choral music aiming to give 2 or 3 concerts a year, at least one being with a full symphony orchestra.

New Egham Singers

Following the success of the Learn to Sing project held in the autumn of 2008, it was apparent that in the area there was a renewed interest in choral singing. Although many new singers joined Egham Choral, some felt that the largely classical repertoire was not for them and wanted something lighter and more accessible.

With no choir in the district offering such music we have formed the New Egham Singers under the direction of Guy Bunce, who meet on Monday evenings at 8pm in Coopers Hall in Strodes College, High Street, Egham.

This mixed choir of around 60 voices will be making their public debut in a Charity Concert in aid of the Sam Beare Hospice. This will be held at 7.30pm on April 25th at St Paul's Church Egham Hythe.

Details of the choir and how to join can be seen under the NES pages on this website or by contacting nes@eghamchoral.org or 01784 452589

Friends And Season Tickets for 2008-2009

From now on we are offering Season Tickets which are vaild for the whole choir season (which is roughly the same as the 'academic year'). For the 2008/9 season we are offering tickets at £27 - a substantial saving on individual concert ticket prices. Exisiting season ticket holders may extend their 2008 tickets to the end of the season for £18.

'Friends' of the choir ensure, through their financial support, that we can continue to bring high class choral music to the Egham area. For an annual fee of £50 you will receive entry to all public concerts and also have the opportunity to purchase a second ticket at half price. Also you will be guaranteed seats for all our concerts and the opportunity to participate in other musical and social events organised by the choir. Your name will also appear in all our programmes.
