The Singers performing in the Jean D'Arc Church in Rouen

The Singers is a chamber choir of around twenty five mixed voices based in Newcastle.

The choir draws its singers mainly from Newcastle and Northumberland but some singers travel considerable distances to participate in choir events.

The choir aims to maintain a sweetness and clarity of tone with impeccable tuning which is particularly appropriate for the earlier choral repertoire which is one of its specialities.

A high standard of musicianship and sight-reading is required as the group does not meet on a regular weekly basis largely owing to the numerous other musical commitments members.

• Durham Cathedral
• Liverpool Anglican Cathedral
  
• Hexham Abbey
