An image and message from our most recent performance in Presteigne with Central England Camerata.

Central England Camerata had a very enjoyable time accompanying Kington Choral Society under the ever dynamic baton of Simon Harper last night in Presteigne. This was our first outing together and we really enjoyed it! Thanks to the choir for being such excellent hosts. We hope to work with you again soon

Performances we’ve currently got planned

A concert of Christmas Music in St Mary’s Church Kington.

The choir returns to St Mary’s Church Kington for a first Carol Concert, its programme of carols old and new taking us from medieval Gaudete to Simon Peberdy’s The Heavenly King premiered in 2023. With readings, audience carols and organ interludes, music to set the Christmas season on its way. A retiring collection will support the Music Therapy Department of Hereford Headway.

Then in 2026 plans are well in hand for an exciting series of anthology programmes which will give singers and audience alike the chance to experience some of the best of choral writing past and present.
