About Our Choir
About Chantry Singers
Chantry Singers is one of the foremost chamber choirs in the area, giving high-quality performances of choral works ranging from Renaissance masterpieces to music by contemporary composers. The choir specializes in presenting highly unusual themed programs which often combine unfamiliar and slightly challenging music alongside old favorites. Recent highlights have included Handel's Dixit Dominus, Rheinberger's Mass in E flat, Bach's Jesu Meine Freude as well as songs by Gershwin and a selection of music from the movies.
We have also recently performed several successful concerts with the renowned folk duo Ninebarrow.
Each year we support a local Guildford charity through carol singing and bucket collections.
