About The Durham Singers

We are a 40-voice chamber choir based in Durham, singing a wide range of music from the renaissance to the present day. We perform several concerts per year of mostly unaccompanied repertoire, along with an annual concert of a larger scale work.

We believe in concerts which contain rich musical variety, which take the audience on a musical journey, and which make the point that sharing live singing and instrumental playing is still the best experience in music. While our members come from a wide variety of musical backgrounds, we are united in our love of singing and we greatly enjoy the rapid turnover of repertory, the challenge of complex eight-part music, and the breadth of musical styles.

We are committed to developing the talent of young musicians in our region and we have collaborated with local schools, youth choirs and talented young soloists from our region.  Fortunate to receive funding from Arts Council England, and other funding bodies, we value our diverse partnerships.
