The choir's 20th anniversary in 2025
We mark two decades of singing in Winchester with an exciting programme of events and activities. Some events are available only to choir members at the moment but may be opened to the public later in the year. If you sing with us, you can see those events on the Events page in the MEMBERS area of this website. Other events are public concerts and you can view them and buy tickets on our WHAT'S ON page.

Our Winter concert in The United Church is done and dusted. The choir sang some lovely choral arrangements - The Angel Gabriel, Silent Night in German and English to name but two from the standard Christmas repertoire. And there were some brand new arrangements, including Zack Stephen's setting of the rumbustious Bodmin First Wassailing Song - probably the first time this ancient Cornish song has been recorded in musical notation. The audience joined us in some hearty congregational carols. The readings included a medley of seasonal poems by poet Wendy Cope, one-time Wintonian. Our generous audience put in a tidy sum at the retiring collection in aid of the Winchester Hospice. It was a great way to start the Christmas season.

Six choirs with 200 singers and half-a-dozen soloists were at the Theatre Royal Winchester on Sunday 4 February to remember Sarah Morgan and Paul Sartin.
​
Winchester Community Choir was there with our Music Director, Carolyn Robson who co-hosted the concert
IIf you missed the concert, catch up with this 27-minute video. It has snatches of all the live performances and recordings of Sarah and Paul that featured in the programme.
Sarah Morgan was a co-founder of Winchester Community Choir in 2005 and Paul Sartin established the Andover Museum Loft Singers - another, exciting Hampshire choir. Both were well established performers on the UK folk circuit - Sarah with Moira Craig and our very own Carolyn Robson and Paul in folk bands like Bellowhead (eight-time winners at the BBC 4 Folk Awards), Faustus and Belshazzar's Feast.
