We perform four concerts each year across three terms running from September to July. Our programme varies from stunning major choral works to satisfying chamber music programmes and the occasional light programme of popular numbers!
Singers are drawn not only from Fleet and the surrounding area, but also outlying towns including Guildford and Basingstoke. Choir membership is currently around 50 voices, many of whom have sung with the choir for several years. The combined experience and enthusiasm enables us to explore new musical horizons - both in repertoire and venue.
We aim to broaden our experience, strive for quality and musicality in our performances and involve young singers wherever possible. Soloists are drawn from the choir, although for more complex works we often invite professional singers to participate.
Fancy joining? Although we don’t have a formal auditio... less

Faces
by Sara Teasdale
People that I meet and pass
In the city's broken roar,
Faces that I lose so soon
And have never found before,
Do you know how much you tell
In the meeting of our eyes,
How ashamed I am, and sad
To have pierced your poor disguise?
Secrets rushing without sound
Crying from your hiding places —
Let me go, I cannot bear
The sorrow of the passing faces.
— People in the restless street,
Can it be, oh can it be
In the meeting of our eyes
That you know as much of me? less

Choosing choral repertoire
Choosing exactly the right repertoire for an ensemble is one of the most essential responsibilities of a conductor. We want music that stimulates growth within the ensemble, and also enriches the musical palette of the singers and of the audience me...

We believe that music can positively impact and enrich lives. Our performances reflect this belief in their use of such seasonal themes as ‘freedom’ and ‘healing’ and ‘our mother earth;’ and in presentation of mostly new music in a way that is accessible. Our educational programs reflect this belief by training emerging professionals, planting seeds within young people for a lifetime of music involvement, and growing the skills of our own members. Our commitment to new choral music reflects this belief even beyond our substantial performance commitment through Project Encore™ and our Featured Composer Program. Substantially more than a singing group, SCH is unique in many respects that reflects both a breadth and a depth that bespeaks the full meaning of a ‘schola’ (‘school’).

Since 2009 and thanks to his founder, Oscar Allen, the Choral Project has been working with young singers and developing young voices to excell in the interpretation and enjoyment of choral music and group singing.
Due to an intensive and hard work, its members receive a full choral and scenic education, structured in the vocal individual technique and its different types of sound emission; on the development of corporal skills expression, and in the grupal practice of the choral exercise.
This education is complemented by the permanent contact with other artistic disciplines as ballet and theatre are.
Even though the repertoire performed is diverse and heterogeneous, its preferences are focused on the amazing generation of current Spanish composers and the beautiful treatment given by them to the voice.
It is formed by girls and boys between 6 and 28 years old, most of them current or past students at th... less

for alto, tenor and bass voices and string ensemble
Des Abends, Morgens und Mittags
will ich klagen und heulen,
so wird er meine Stimme hören.
Er erlöset meine Seele von denen,
die an mich wollen, und schaffet mir Ruhe;
denn ihrer ist viel wider mich.
Gott wird hören und sie demütigen,
der allweg bleibet.
Sela Sela Sela.
In the evening, morning and midday
I shall lament and cry
So he will hear my voice
He releases my soul from those
who are against me
and gives me peace
for there are many of them against me
God will hear and will humble them
He who reigns forever.

This is footage from their concert at St Stephani, Bremen in December, 2010.
The text of this piece is really cool. It is about a mystical tribe of desert women who would stamp their feet into the dust creating beautiful clouds. Light would shine through and create patterns and rainbows. Men would be attracted by these clouds and come to the women's camp. The Wirindji women would cook for them, mate with them then kill them and eat them! You can hear the beautiful sounds of the desert landscape, the clusters of sunlight and the dangerous moral :-)
