Sheen Gate Choir is seeking to appoint a new Music Director to start in September 2025. For more information please see the advertisement on the ABCD website, link here
We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have had Penny Homer directing us this year. We were enormously grateful when she took the reins of the choir last September after the untimely passing of Ben Thapa our previous director. Penny has brought an energy and precision to our work from which we have greatly benefited. We will be very sorry to say goodbye to Penny but are delighted to say we hope to welcome her back in the future as one of our soloists which, after hearing her beautiful singing during rehearsals, really is something to look forward to.
Our next event is on Saturday 7th June 2025 at 7:00pm:

About the choir
Sheen Gate Choir is a non-selective community 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).
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 Haydn’s Creation, 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.
New members are always welcome. 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!
