Shrewsbury School
Community Choir
We are a friendly, non-auditioning choir aiming to perform a wide range of
classical and contemporary choral works to a high standard.
• We are able to use the unrivalled rehearsal and performance facilities at
Shrewsbury School, by kind permission of the Headmaster.
• Our conductor is Richard Robbins, Head of Choral Music at
Shrewsbury School.
• We are supported by the Shrewsbury School Music Department and
Orchestra and other local musicians.
• We give around four concerts each year, including under our Shropshire
Charity Concerts banner Handel’s Messiah on 16th December in
Shrewsbury Abbey at 7.30pm, when we raise money for local good causes.
The choir was formed in 1982 and is now some 100 strong. Our first concerts
of the year will be held in the Alington Hall during St Cecilia weekend in
November. Please check our website www.shropshirecharityconcerts.org.uk
for the latest information about our activities.
Why not consider joining the choir? No connection with the School is
needed, and our rehearsals are generally held on Monday evenings during
term time in the Maidment Auditorium. Parents, relatives and guardians as
well as friends of students at the School are very welcome. You can contact
