The North Downs Consort (also known as The North Downs Singers) is a chamber choir of around twenty to twenty five singers. We are based at St. Paul's Woldingham in the heart of Surrey and draw our members from Kent, Sussex, Surrey and South London.


Welcome

Our aim is first and foremost to enjoy our singing!  Lock-down revealed to us how much we missed joining together for music each week and we were delighted that part of our ‘bounce back’ could be for the Queen’s Jubilee Weekend.

We aim to present a themed programme. The process of learning music and then polishing our performance is a deeply satisfying one, both individually and as a ‘team’! Our repertoire is varied: we aim to include both lesser-known material and more familiar works, to develop all tastes.

We thoroughly enjoy our choral singing both at rehearsals and in performance.

Latest News & Events

Unfortunately Iain Cooper, our Musical Director has had to resign due to health problems.  We are very lucky to be directed at short notice by Edward Caswell for the spring term, but will need to find a replacement MD for the Summer term.  

Edward is a well-known and respected choir leader and has directed several choirs in this country and abroad, including Netherlands Radio Choir, Flemish Radio Choir, Cromarty Youth Opera (which he founded), MDR Rundfunkchor in Leipzig, and others in Europe.

Our Spring concert will include Brahms’ “Song of Destiny” as the main item, and choral music by such as Bruckner, Mendelssohn, Fauré, Palestrina, Mozart and Victoria.

We are always happy to welcome new members and have vacancies in all departments, especially tenors. If you loved choral singing and would like to take it up again, then please get in touch.
