About the Choir:
Shoreham Oratorio Choir is part of Shoreham's rich musical heritage, performing works in the fine tradition of the classical choral repertory.
It was first formed in 1961, when the choirs from St. Nicolas Church and the Church of St. Mary de Haura combined for a special concert.
The choir has performed many well known pieces, including the Mozart Requiem, the Verdi Requiem and the Faure Requiem. Other recent concerts have included the Handel Messiah, The Armed Man (by Karl Jenkins), the Haydn Nelson Mass and works by Rossini and Berlioz.
Performances at Christmas and Easter are given in Shoreham-by-Sea's St. Mary de Haura Church and during the Adur Festival in June, the choir often performs in the Lancing College Chapel.
If you would like to join our long established choir of about 50 singers, new voices (soprano, alto, tenor or bass) are always welcome.
From January 2016 the choir is led by Marc Yarrow and our rehearsal accompanist is Tim Nail. In addition to singing ability we look for enthusiasm and a commitment to rehearsals. There is no audition.
