The Village Singers are a community choir with members of all ages coming from the villages and towns around Chippenham. We have been making music together since 2011.
We are united by our love of music and our love of fun but also through many shared emotional experiences. As well as performing in local churches we have had several wonderful tours, and have even been Wassailing the orchards of Somerset! We performed in Bruges in 2014, and had the privilege of singing during the Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing in Ypres, as well as in Ypres Cathedral. In 2017 we sang Faure’s Requiem in Eglise de la Madeleine in Paris, where it had its very first performance. In 2019, the choir had an amazing experience in New York as part of a larger choir performing in Carnegie Hall for Sir Karl Jenkins’ 75th birthday celebratory concert, something never to be forgotten! Our most recent adventure was in 2024, where we travelled to Amsterdam and performed a varied and exciting programme to appreciative audiences in three lovely churches.
The Village Singers are like an extended family. Our friendship and shared love of music is a tight bond. We love to put on a show and our concerts really showcase the fire in our belly, often with wonderful surprises – we have even had a marriage proposal in one of our concerts – although we can’t promise that every time!
