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. We recently welcomed Hugh Beckwith as our new Musical Director and during rehearsals, we are accompanied by well-known local pianist, David Darby, who is celebrating 50 years with Egham Choral.

Enjoy singing? Join a choir this January! 

Join us for an Open Rehearsal on 13th January 2025 at 7:30 in the United Church of Egham (TW20 9EX)! All voice parts are welcome. This term we’re looking forward to singing Will Todd’s Mass in Blue and a selection of spiritual and jazz music.

About our most recent concert:

Christmas Concert 2024

On Saturday 7th December 2024 we presented A Journey through Christmas as we explored a range of Christmas music from the 4th century to the modern day.

The programme included: Jesus refulsit omnium (St Hilary of Poitiers (attributed)), Ave Maria (Schubert), A present for the future (Forbes-L’Estrange), A Ukranian Alleluia (Trad. arr. Mykola Leontovych, words John Rutter), and The 12 days of Christmas (Chilcott).

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 £235 for Runnymede Foodbank.
