Thanet Chamber Choir

Thanet Chamber Choir Thanet Chamber Choir is a group of around 30 experienced singers, creating rich, expressive choral music with clarity and passion.

Directed by Peter Futcher, we pride ourselves on performances that truly connect with audiences. Described as "One of the finest mixed voice choirs in Kent", the Thanet Chamber Choir consists of approximately 30 members, all of whom are experienced singers. The choir has built a reputation for giving high quality performances and sings a varied repertoire of works, ranging from the Renaissance era

(Tallis, Byrd, Victoria and Palestrina) through the Baroque and Romantic periods to living composers such as Chilcott, Lauridsen, Pärt and Whiteacre. We give at least four concerts each year and also perform at Cathedral services, weddings, and other special occasions. Rehearsals take place on Monday evenings at The Vale United Reformed Church, Broadstairs. We are an auditioned choir and there is sometimes a waiting list for most voice parts, but we are always keen to hear from prospective new members.

The audience for our concert last night was treated to a feast in the shape of Bob Chilcott's St John Passion. As we enter 'Holy Week' for some we are always reminded, regardless of our own beliefs, of the power of sacred choral music which forms a large part of the diet of many choirs. The stories, imagery and traditions of the Nativity and Passion have been a source of inspiration for choral composers for centuries and this work is no exception. Enjoy Bob Chilcott's Setting of "It is a Thing Most Wonderful".

Experience one of the most enduring stories of all time. Bob Chilcott's St John Passion is a feast of music for voices but it is alsomuch more than that. It is a story of love, loss, family, sacrifice, humanity, tragedy, hope and joy. Thanet Chamber Choir and fantastic soloists bring the story alive at St Andrew's, Reading Street, on Saturday Evening.
