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.
We’re excited to be performing Mendelssohn’s rousing work, Elijah, on 18th April 2026, at 2.30pm in the recently renovated Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, Harvest Road, Englefield Green, Egham, TW20 0QR. Tickets are available from the Box Office.
We are also holding a workshop on Saturday 7th March 2026 at Strodes College in Egham, so please join us! Costs are £20 for a single singer, £75 for a group of 5, £5 students (all incl. music hire), audience free. Tickets available now!
Our performances are generously supported by The Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust.
About our most recent concert:
December 2025
We sang excerpts from Vivaldi Gloria as well as a wide-ranging selection of Christmas music – traditional carols, as well as new carols by Becky McGlade, Ben Ponniah, Owain Park and Ian Farrington’s Nova Nova! with all claps, bells and whoops. We were led by our MD, Hugh Beckwith, and Anthony Merryweather accompanied us on the stunning organ at Royal Holloway College Chapel. Peter Evans, a current BMus student at Royal Holloway was a fabulous soloist for the beautiful solo parts of Vivaldi Gloria – we really felt as if the truth had descended from the heavens
We raised an approximate ~£230+ for Runnymede Foodbank at this concert through direct donation.
