Soon Amore are a York-based chamber choir who enjoy singing a broad range of unaccompanied music We perform 2-3 concerts a year around York.

Soon Amore are a York-based chamber choir who enjoy singing a range of unaccompanied music from across the ages and cultures. We rehearse on Monday evenings in York city centre, and always welcome anyone who wants to consider joining us, but especially tenors. The name Soon Amore comes from the Welsh words "swn y mor", meaning "sound of the sea". We were started in 2002 by a group of friends looking for a different ensemble to what was traditionally available, and have retained our friendly and unconventional ethos. Please like our page if you would like to be kept up to date with our performances. For more information please visit our website at http://www.soonamore.co.uk

Are you a bit sad you missed our open rehearsal last week?
Don't fret, for another few weeks, we still very much welcome new members! We have started on the repertoire for the next concert, but if you are an experienced singer, and willing to do a bit of homework, we are sure you can catch up! Do get in touch if interested, and do share with others who may be!

A huge shout out to yesterday’s audience -you made yesterday‘s concert another lovely event! We are so pleased you seem to have enjoyed yourself based on the lovely comments we received. Some impressive audience participation as well 🎶🎶.
Our poetry readers and writers, all singers of classic and the original arrangements by choir members and Bartram, it only works when there’s an audience! And Chris brought out the best in all of us again.
It was another true Soon Amore happening 😊, thank you!

It’s 🎶concert day today, Sunday 12 July! hope to see you there. And why not come early to enjoy the butterflies and flowers in the gorgeous York Victorian cemetery first? Then join us at 5 in their chapel for what we think will be an uplifting and wonderful concert celebrating Songs of Day and Night, as always with some poetry reading and audience participation as well. It would not be a Chris Bartram led Soon Amore concert otherwise, would it?
