The concert featured a unique and rare exhibition of seventeenth-century books and music...    less

At present we have nineteen members, including our musical director and accompanist, both talented pianists who sometimes provide a contrast to the choir’s singing with their piano duets. Reflections have given concerts in support of local charities, sometimes sharing the privilege with other choirs and soloists. Many of our venues have been for religious organisations, either within their services and celebrations, or for their related charities. Our repertoire is very varied and includes sacred music and songs from shows and films, with composers from Bach to Goodall, Cole Porter to Elton John.
