About the Choir

Based in Goring-on-Thames, our choir draws members from around South Oxfordshire and Berkshire. We sing all year round, giving concerts in Spring, Autumn and at Christmas. Our repertoire ranges from the Classical through traditional to contemporary music. While our concerts always have familiar and popular pieces, we enjoy exploring new or lesser-known works — it keeps our programme fresh.

Harmony at the Abbey

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at Douai Abbey for our 75th Anniversary Concert on Saturday, 16^th May. Your warmth and enthusiasm made the evening everything we had hoped for. Our programme, featuring the Baroque power of Bach and Durante, set against the quieter harmonic beauty of motets to the Virgin, filled the glorious space of the Abbey.

To our wonderful orchestra Charivari Agréable and director Kah-Ming Ng, to our four brilliant soloists Anaïs Manz, Richard Decker, William Searle and Jan-Magnar Gard, and to our extraordinary Musical Director Frances Brewitt-Taylor — thank you. It is a privilege to make music with you.

And to our choir members, who have worked so hard to bring this programme to life: 75 years on, and we continue to go from strength to strength. Here's to the next 75!

A Fresh Look

You may have noticed something a little different: Goring Chamber Choir has a new logo! As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, it felt like the right moment to refresh our visual identity. The design centres on a sweeping arc of a music staff flowing through the letter G: fluid, dynamic, and distinctly our own. We have kept our traditional blue, but given it a contemporary confidence that feels fitting for a choir looking back on 75 years of music-making whilst looking forward with equal excitement. We hope you like it as much as we do.
