Variety is the spice of a musical life - so why settle for singing just one oratorio when you can enjoy a taste of many?
Tamesis Chamber Choir and award-winning musical director Louise Rapple Moore invite you to join us for an entertaining and uplifting day of oratorio singing... with a difference.
We've selected some greatest hits and new favourites, piecing together a vibrant and exciting programme of beautiful choral movements from nine different oratorios. Whatever you love, we think we’ve got it covered… and you may even come away with new favourites to cherish.
Whether you know the music already or want to try out something new to you, we warmly welcome singers on every voice part to come and sing with us, whether it's your first Come and Sing or you're a seasoned participant. Build your knowledge and confidence with members of Tamesis Chamber Choir alongside to support you, or lend your vocal expertise to anchor the performance. There's no pressure and it doesn't matter whether you already know the music or not.
