THE BEAUMARIS SINGERSBeaumaris Singers are a chamber choir of around 20 voices whose aim is to delight audiences with excellent performances of the choral repertoire. We perform both a cappella and accompanied music from a repertoire spanning five centuries. The choir has broadcast on radio on three occasions, and has performed with Russell Watson in Manchester and Birmingham and also took part in the BBC’s Songs of Praise from Cound Church. The choir is equally at home with lighter repertoire, providing high quality entertainment at social and charity events. |
