Message from Adrian Cross, Chair.
Fellow singers, what a fantastic night we had on Saturday 23 October 20121 when we performed The Creation by Franz Joseph Haydn. We received many unsolicited accolades from well informed members of the audience who said it was one of, if not the best, performances they have seen. That says a lot for all of the singers and for our Musical Director Laurence Blyth who, through his patient encouragement , took us to new heights. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you all so much. For those who could not join us this term, please do come back when you feel ready - there is a terrific program planned for next year and it would be wonderful to see you and for you to enjoy the experience along with us.

​Notification of Wellington Choral Society Annual General Meeting to be held on   Zoom on Tuesday 15 June 2022 at 7.30pm

Concert
Our performance of the Armed Man - a Mass for Peace by Karl Jenkins and Faure's Requiem on Saturday 26 March 2022 was a very moving occasion. We dedicated our performance to Ukraine and the words we sang were very poignant in the light of the war and destruction in Ukraine. We also raised £715.66p for the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal. Feedback from our audience was of a very moving performance.
