Music
Friendship
Inspiration!
Chiltern Chamber Choir is a lively and welcoming group of around 50 singers. Founded in 1976 by Adrian Davis, we combine a strong musical tradition with an open, friendly atmosphere and a love of great music.
Music is an important part of our lives. We believe that singing is not only good for the mind but also our physical well-being; it is, moreover, a social activity. We look forward to our rehearsals, post concert parties, concert trips abroad including partners and even, for instance, the annual May Day madrigals sung from the top of the tower of St Peter’s Church in Berkhamsted at 6:30 in the morning!
