Nayland Choir is an unauditioned SATB choir of about 40 singers, founded by Mandy Cook in 1994. It's tricky to define – a bit of a cross between a small choral society and a community choir! We sing a wide range of classical and sometimes lighter repertoire, always aiming to enjoy both the singing and the social side. For our most recent concert, we explored music inspired by Shakespeare - including settings of Shakespeare sonnets by George Shearing and songs from 20th century re-tellings of two Shakespeare plays - West Side Story and Kiss me Kate. 

In the autumn term we will be preparing for a concert in Nayland Village Hall on December 15th. We always welcome new members - whether you're an experienced singer or new to singing in parts - please get in touch on naylandchoir@gmail.com or come along to our first rehearsal next term on September 12th.
