A word from the Music Director

Peter Farrant, Music Director

A warm welcome to the Reigate and Redhill Choral Society website, and an exciting season containing a feast of great events to look forward to. Throughout the season, our concerts feature popular classics alongside the new and unusual, ranging from Caccini to Karl Jenkins, with an amazing selection of great chart-topping works, as well as special guest appearances from world-renowned composers whose works are being performed. We have already had our Choral Development Workshop (which was specially designed to enhance musical experiences and understanding) as well as our annual Festival of Carols, which featured glorious traditional items, local school choirs, professional brass and Carols for All. Our Christmas Classics concert included a selection of seasonal music including Christmas carols with audience participation. The season continued in the spring with a wonderful selection of hand-picked Essential Classics all bursting with freshness in a dazzling array of styles suiting all tastes. The repertoire from this concert formed the basis of our tour to Rouen.

Our 2007/08 season reached its climax on 28th June with an unforgettable Gala Concert at Dorking Halls, commemorating the 50th anniversary of world-renowned composer and former Dorking resident Ralph Vaughan Williamsm and in the presence of Howard Blake OBE, whose music we also performed.

Draft details of our 2008/09 season are available on our forthcoming events page, so put the dates in your diary now!

Whether as a singer or concert-goer, make sure you join us for an exciting, engaging and memorable season. I look forward to welcoming you!
