We thanked the music!
"really enjoyable and such a great variety of music. Everyone should be proud of themselves", "A really good evening", "a lovely concert"...
Just some of the comments from members of our audience at the Spring Concert on May 17th. The choir ranged from the majesty of Blest Pair of Sirens to - appropriately enough on the night of the Eurovision final - Abba's Thank You For the Music. We were accompanied by a wonderful wind quintet who treated us to dances and sea shanties, and the audience sang along with all the old favourites. It was a joyous and enjoyable evening for everyone.
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.
