This is the theme for the our Spring Concert on Saturday 17th May 2025. It is at 7:30pm in the St. Edith Hall, Kemsing. Following a successful season celebrating 60 years of existence, this is our way of celebrating the richness and joy that music brings to all our lives. The centrepiece is Hubert Parry’s soaring masterpiece, Blest Pair of Sirens, the sirens in question being Voice and Verse and that magical combination of the two. We also include a medley from The Sound of Music, a new arrangement by Peter Young of The Lord of the Dance and of course, a certain ABBA song! There are two sublime pieces in calmer mood: The Cantique de Jean Racine by Fauré and The Ground by Ola Gjeilo. We will be joined again this year by a wind quintet, who always bring additional joy to our concerts.
Tickets are now on sale from our Box Office on 01959 523752
adults £12, under 18s £6.
This is just one event in an exciting new season of fun and fine singing planned for 2025. In March we enjoyed a very special awayday when we sang with a full orchestra in front of an invited audience.
Like variety? Then you’ll be sure to like us! We are keen to welcome new members. We rehearse on Mondays from 7:30-9:30pm in the St Edith Hall Kemsing and always give people a chance to see if we suit before committing to membership.

We are a friendly, mixed choir of about 50 singers who celebrated our Diamond Jubilee in 2024. Our motto is "Fun and Fine Singing" and our aim is to sing well and enjoy doing so. We give public performances in the Kemsing and Sevenoaks area under our Musical Director, Sara Kemsley, with pianist Peter Young. We also sing occasionally at fetes and festivals and for weddings or funerals. We have a very competitive subscription for members but still raise money for charity and use professional soloists each season. Read all about us and how you can join
The choir's large repertoire includes major choral classics, but we are not a choral society. Our programmes are built to a theme and consist of several shorter items in a range of styles. Many of these pieces are on the lighter side of classical music or are contemporary arrangements of songs and carols with opera and musicals also represented. Singers and audiences alike enjoy the variety.
