Elmdon Choral Society was founded by its
conductor and musical director, Stephen Davis, in April 1978. The first
concert took place in July of that year and consisted of a performance of
Fauré Requiem and a selection of anthems, accompanied on the organ by John
Butt. The choir originally comprised around 20 members, which over the years
rose to 60 and now stands at 35. Based at St. Nicolas Church Elmdon, the
choir regularly performs at this and other venues in the area. Elmdon Choral Society has a wide repertoire ranging from Bach to the Beatles and beyond, and includes a number of premieres by local composers such as Martin Bates and Chris Davis |
