Hertfordshire Chorus is one of the friendliest groups of people you will find. We are a family but also sing beautifully, perform in amazing venues and work with the best professionals - David Temple MBE and Rufus Frowde. Try us out - we are always looking for great singers.

Lovely memories of singing this extraordinary piece by Shruthi Rajasekar Psappha ❤️

“Our land no be our own again / Na visitor come be landlord” — the powerful text in Nigerian Pidgin by Vashti Gbolagun Suwa that I had the honor of grappling with in “As Oyinbo Come” (When the White Man Came)

🙏🏾 to Psappha & Claire Wild for this hair-raising performance!

Tomorrow! An hour of music by derri joseph lewis 🏳️‍🌈, Shruthi Rajasekar, Ola Gjeilo and The Real Group alongside Byrd and de Monte, in one of the UK's best concert halls.

england! y’all have lost the damn plot!

I receive roughly 15 new scores a week from composers hoping for a performance from BBC Singers. Since in role, I’ve looked at each & every one of the c.5,400+ scores I’ve received. That won’t stop - let’s make the last four months the best.

All I want to say is the greatest professional honour of my life has been the incredible seven years I’ve spent with the BBC Singers. As a choir, but more importantly as individuals, they are the best. We are devastated.

Thank you BBC Singers , Owain Park , Richard Gowers and most especially Jonathan Manners for this— new chant setting of Psalm 59 for these wonderful musicians, can listen back here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

...But...unbeknownst to her Sanora's boss had shared her notes on Dust Bowl refugees with a writer named John Steinbeck. The Grapes of Wrath made it to the Market before her book titled Whose Names Are Unknown... 6/11

We are thrilled that Shruthi Rajasekar has agreed to be one of our honorary music patrons. The Guardian described her as ‘a composer who will enrich your life’ and we couldn’t agree more.

We’re currently preparing for our ‘A new song’ concert St George's Bristol on 16th March. Inspired by #Byrd400 , the programme also features contemporary music by derri joseph lewis 🏳️‍🌈 Shruthi Rajasekar Ola Gjeilo The Real Group Ralf Schmitt.
