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.

Join a choir this September!

Our new term starts on Monday 9^th September and we will be starting to rehearse for our Christmas Concert (Saturday 7^th December)!

If you’re interested in joining a choir, please do consider attending our open rehearsal on Monday 16^th September – this is a free rehearsal which is open to singers from all voice parts.

About our most recent concert:

Summer Concert 2024 – on Saturday 20 July 2024 we performed a selection of summer music including: Ave Maris Stella (McDowall), The Road Home (Paulus), Autumn Leaves (Mercer, Kosma, arr. Ryan O’Connell) and A Spoonful of Poppins (Sherman & Sherman, arr. Charlie Perry). Thank you to Charlie Perry for creating this beautiful arrangement for Egham Choral – it was supercalifragilisticexpialidocious a joy to sing!

As always, a huge 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.

We are lucky to have an incredibly generous audience – thank you for raising money for KatCanDo, a Surrey-based charity who raise funds to support cancer patients through the provision of improved equipment and services.

Egham Choral recently celebrated our 70^th anniversary and this concert was a fantastic way to end the season! We very much look forward to welcoming both new and returning singers in the September term!
