We are delighted to welcome you to our 10th Anniversary Concert, postponed from 2020, on Saturday 18th June 2022 from 19:30 at Christchurch, East Sheen. The programme will include Vivaldi’s Gloria, Fauré’s Requiem and some celebratory Vaughan Williams pieces marking the 150th anniversary of his birth.
Tickets are £10 each and may be purchased in advance via our contact page or on the door.
Everyone is welcome and, you never know, you may be tempted to come and join us when we start our new programme in September!
About the choir
Sheen Gate Choir is a non-selective amateur choir based in East Sheen, South West London, UK. Formed in 2009, we rehearse every week in the Sheen area, and try to perform a major work every year, as well as other smaller concerts.
We find that singing is a cathartic experience. It is uplifting, challenging and rewarding, and is a social part of our members’ lives. You do not need to be able to read music or have previous experience in a choir to join us. All you need to do is commit to Tuesday nights during term time (and don’t worry if you cannot commit to every one, you can still be a part of the choir and a part of performances). Drop us a line and we can let you know where rehearsals will be.
We rehearse from 7.45pm to 9.30pm and then head to one of our local pubs to catch up.
In recent years, major concerts have included Faure’s Requiem, Schubert’s Mass in G, Saint Saens’ Requiem, Puccini’s Messa di Gloria, Vivaldi’s Gloria and Mozart’s Requiem as well as more contemporary works by the likes of Britten, Vaughan Williams, Whitacre, Rutter and Goodall. We have travelled to perform with other choirs in Salzburg and Vienna, and at the Royal Albert Hall.
If you would like to join us, please complete the following form and we will get back to you as soon as possible. No audition is required – you can just turn up and have a go!
