Shaldon Singers is a friendly, non-auditioned choir of about 60. We are always looking for new singers to join us - you will be made very welcome. We sing a wide range of classical music and give two concerts a year, in December and May. We support local charities with a retiring collection at each concert. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 7.15 to 9 pm at St Peter’s Church in Shaldon, TQ14 0DB.
If you are interested in joining Shaldon Singers, please contact membership secretary Anne Gore (01626 866815) for information, or email shaldonsingers@gmail.com. An ability to read music is an advantage, but more important is enthusiasm and a commitment to attend rehearsals.
Membership costs £85 a year, and two free taster rehearsals are offered to anyone wishing to try singing with us.
Visit us anytime!
All our rehearsals are open to potential new members, so why not pay us a visit?
We rehearse every Thursday evening at 7.15pm, at St. Peter's Church, Bridge Road , Shaldon TQ14 0DB. For more information ring Anne on 01626 866815.

SPRING CONCERT
An appreciative audience enjoyed the Shaldon Singers concert on Saturday 17 May at St Peter’s Church. Conducted by Tim Crompton, the choir was accompanied by the Shaldon Sinfonietta, led by Anna Cockroft. The soloists who took part – Josie Walledge, Jonathan Lucas-Wood and Tim Mirfin were excellent and the coming together of the choir, orchestra and soloists resulted in a performance of Haydn’s Creation that could well have been enjoyed at a London concert hall!
The retiring collection was in aid of the Alice Cross Centre and raised £282.67 to help to upgrade the fire/smoke system. Local historian Viv Wilson gave an inspiring talk about the centre. Many thanks to our generous audience and others who donated.
Shaldon Singers return to rehearsals after the summer break on Thursday 11th September. Anyone interested in joining the choir will be made very welcome. For information see www.shaldonsingers.co.uk. Our next concert will be on December 6th with music by Parry, Taverner and Todd and will feature Handel’s Zadok the Priest.
