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

For our Autumn concert, at the Caterham United Reform Church, we performed Britten’s “Ceremony of Carols” as the main item, with harp accompaniment - as was originally intended. This was followed by various seasonal songs.  We were very lucky to be accompanied by harpist Olivia Jageurs, who has played with many of the well-known orchestras and other musical performers. Olivia also played a couple of harp solos, and accompanied us on the piano when needed. Also in the audience was Benjamin Britten’s niece.

We now have a break over the Christmas period, before starting to prepare for our Spring concert at the end of March, 2025

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.
