South Devon Choir

South Devon Choir South Devon Choir welcomes singers of all ages and abilities to learn and perform some of the world's greatest choral works and some lighter pieces too.

South Devon Choir is a large, non-audition, mixed voice choir. We rehearse on Thursday nights starting back at 7.30pm on Thursday 9 September 2021 at Central Church, Tor Hill Road, Torquay - PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE

Over the years the Choir has sung with many leading amateur and professional orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras, the Bristol Symphony,

the Bands of HM Grenadier Guards, Household Cavalry and Royal Marine Commandos, Lympstone. Nearly all the historical oratorios, cantatas and choral works have been performed at concerts as well as 20th century compositions. The Choir has visited France four times including the Quimper Music Festival, has hosted choirs from Holland, France and the USA and created links with societies in Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire and North Yorkshire. It has actively encouraged local school choirs to participate in works which include parts written specially for young people. The choir is accompanied for special concerts by professional soloists and the Festival Orchestra, engaged by the Choir using professional instrumentalists and music teachers, which we like to achieve at least once each year or more if possible.

📖 Programme spotlight: Anna Clyne — This Midnight Hour

Meet Anna Clyne, one of the most exciting composers writing today. 🌙 A GRAMMY nominated and Ivor Novello Award-winning composer, described by The New York Times as a “composer of uncommon gifts and unusual methods,” by NPR as “fearless,” and by The Wall Street Journal as possessing a “rare gift.” Clyne is one of today’s most in-demand composers, working internationally with leading orchestras, choreographers, filmmakers, and visual artists. She has been named as the most performed living woman composer in the world by Bachtrack.

This Midnight Hour is inspired by two poems about night, dreams, and the unconscious. Atmospheric, cinematic and completely captivating. This is contemporary classical music at its finest and it's coming to Devon this June. 🎶
