Events
Saturday 19th October, 10am-5pm
We are holding an informal singing day at our rehearsal venue in Carlisle. This is an event for choir members but also for new singers who are interested in joining us. So if that’s you, and you are a competent singer, we would love to hear from you! We are particularly interested in recruiting tenors and basses.
Please contact us if you would like to come. It would help us to know a little of your experience and your voice part.
Saturday 30th November
Concert at Austin Friars Chapel, Carlisle
Formed in 1997 as a small choir with a repertoire ranging from Plainsong to Poulenc, Monteverdi to MacMillan, the Wordsworth Singers have won critical acclaim for inspiring performances of largely unaccompanied works.
The choir’s singing members come from all over Cumbria and from the south of Scotland, coming together several times a year to perform concerts throughout Cumbria and beyond, following a two week rehearsal period. They have sung at the Lake District Summer Music Festival and on the Edinburgh Fringe. They have also been invited to perform at weddings, dinners and other events, singing music from the 14th to 21st centuries. They have given first performances and recorded four CDs.
In 2015 The Wordsworth Singers were honoured to receive the title “Choir of the Year” at the first Cumbria Life Culture Awards.
