Thame Chamber Choir was formed in 1999 and is based in Thame, Oxfordshire. We
are a friendly group of about 30 singers that enjoys the challenge of
tackling a wide range of sacred and secular works. We regularly perform public concerts
and are also available for private functions. The choir has sung evensong at
Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, Peterborough Cathedral, Wells Cathedral and
Bath Abbey. Our extensive repertoire includes both sacred and secular works.

A particular feature of the choir is that soloists are almost always drawn from
the regular membership.

With long established links with Lord Williams's School, we are above all a
friendly choir looking forward to an interesting and challenging future.
Our Musical Director is John Gibbons, an international freelance conductor.

We gladly welcome new members . Our rehearsals are held :-

Day : Monday (term-time only)
Time : 19:30 - 21:30
Venue: Lord Williams's Upper School Hall

We hold 3 concerts per year - Spring (March/early April) ; Summer
(June/July) ; Winter (Nov/Dec). We also hold Workshops.
Details of works previously sung are on our website:
