Welcome to Egham Choral
Egham Choral: a choir for all singers
Egham Choral, based in Runnymede, is a friendly, un-auditioned, choral society, with a full social calendar. We welcome new singers in all voice parts and sing a wide range of music, from classic and modern choral works to fun short pieces. If you are interested in joining us, please feel free to pop along to one of our rehearsals. We rehearse on Mondays at 7:30pm in the United Church of Egham, High St, Egham, TW20 9EX (Egham High Street, opposite Iceland).
The choir holds three annual concerts and our Spring concert is accompanied by professional orchestral musicians. Hugh Beckwith has been our Musical Director since September 2023 and during rehearsals, we are accompanied by well-known local pianist, David Darby, who is celebrating 50 years with Egham Choral.
Come and join us for our Christmas Concert, which will take place in Royal Holloway’s beautiful chapel and will feature Vaughan William’s Fantasia on Christmas, excerpts of Vivaldi’s Gloria and Christmas Carols old and new, with audience participation in some familiar favourites!
Tickets are sold out! Please contact chairman@eghamchoral.org to be placed on a wait list.
Please note that due to the historic status of the Chapel, we are unable to offer refreshments on this occasion. You are welcome to bring your own bottle of water, however we request you to be careful of spills.
Our performances are generously supported by The Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust.
About our most recent concert:
Summer 2025: Egham Choral presented A Summer At Sea
On Saturday 12th July 2025, we presented a range of water-themed songs. The programme included:
O Radiant Dawn (Macmillan), The Hills (Ireland), My soul there is a country (Parry), Sea Fever (Ireland, arr. Prest), Songs of the Fleet (Standford) and Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo (Flanders & Horovitz).
We had the pleasure of being accompanied by pianist Emelia Noack-Wilkinson and our soloist was bass singer, Geoff Clapham.
We would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who helped to make the concert a success including our catering team, front of house, and everyone who helped on the day. As ever, huge thanks to our Music Director, Hugh Beckwith, and our accompanist, David Darby.
Very many thanks to our audience for their generous donations; together we raised nearly £100 for the River Thames Boat Project.
