Salisbury Chamber Chorus

Salisbury Chamber Chorus Salisbury Chamber Chorus is a group of 36 singers who perform at least 3 concerts a year. In 2018 we are be supporting Morning Star Salisbury.

The 36-strong Salisbury Chamber Chorus, formed in 2011, is an ensemble with a difference. Spanning the operatic and choral repertoires, its hallmark is a committed, full-bodied sound that brings a varied programme of music excitingly to life. Our concerts - at least three per year - take place in Salisbury and further afield, some by invitation. Imaginative programming spins audiences from evening

s of opera (Wagner and Puccini, for example) to new works (McEnery’s Space Time Matter Energy), via choral classics (Verdi's Requiem) and charity fundraisers (A German Christmas). We regularly engage soloists and instrumentalists, including singers from WNO and ENO, and the celebrated orchestra, La Folia. Never predictable, never dull, Chamber Chorus concerts already have a regular - and growing - band of followers. If you’d like to hear about future events, please join our mailing list here. And if you’d like us to sing at your event, please contact us via our website.
​
Keen to help local charities, the Chorus has so far raised £2000 for the Sheriff of Wiltshire's chosen charity in 2017, Community First; nearly £1000 for the Alabaré Centre; £1000 for Salisbury District Hospital’s Pembroke Unit; £500 for the Breast Cancer Unit; over £700 for the Salisbury Hospice; and has supported other local charities including the Trussell Trust through ‘donating’ concerts. If you’re interested in joining us, we’re often on the look-out for confident singers with at least a good basic technique, and at least competent sight-reading and general theory knowledge. To request an audition, you can contact us via our website. Please understand we generally have a waiting list.

Two wonderful performances this weekend, such a fitting tribute to Simon and all the work he has put into Salisbury Chamber Chorus in the past 15 years. You'll be greatly missed....

12/06/2026

🎶 This weekend we are proud to present The Resurrection – a powerful and moving original work by our Musical Director Simon McEnery.

As well as celebrating this remarkable piece of music, the concert will also mark Simon's final performance with us as Musical Director.

Simon has inspired, challenged and supported us throughout his time with the choir and we can't think of a more fitting way to celebrate his contribution than by performing his own composition.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music as we celebrate The Resurrection and thank Simon for everything he has given to our choir.

Our tenor soloist for our upcoming concerts (Saturday 13 and Sunday 14) is a familiar Salisbury face. Edwin Lambert is a lay vicar with Salisbury Cathedral Choir. Amongst his oratorio solo work recently were Bach’s Easter and Ascension Oratorios at the Cathedral. We’re excited to have him joining us for Simon McEnery’s The Resurrection. https://www.ticketsource.com/salisbury-chamber-chorus

“Simon's musical taste and experience is vast and eclectic, and his compositions reflect that. This work has tense, exciting moments and deeply reflective, meditative moments. Above all, it's melodic and beautiful, and Jeremy's text is very thought provoking.” - Imogen Roose, soprano soloist at our performances of The Resurrection next weekend.

"We can't wait to sing this excellent piece again. There's such a buzz when the choir, strings, soloists and piano lock into those rich, intimate harmonies. It's an emotional rollercoaster to boot." Carolyn Jackson and Dyfed Wyn Evans talking about appearing in our concerts next weekend, Simon McEnery's The Resurrection. https://www.ticketsource.com/salisbury-chamber-chorus

'When we ran like frightened rabbits...'
Jeremy Davies's text, set to music by Simon McEnery, is alive with wonderful imagery, as well as having a profound understanding of John's Gospel account of The Resurrection. Come and hear us sing this oratorio - 'ravishing harmonic opulence … a rich tapestry of harmonic, melodic, motivic and rhythmic gestures' (American Organist) - in Salisbury on 13 and 14 June.
