If you have ever wondered 'are there any community choirs near me?' then the answer is firmly yes! Your friendly local Pimlico choir is run by singer/pianist Dormant Choirs. The choir will be performing locally again soon so it's a chance for you to join in, sing and perform without pressure and under the supportive guidance of Dormant. Rock Choir members have performed and sung across the country at venues including Wembley Arena, on top of the BT tower and many more iconic landmarks. The choir also has a charitable function in raising money and awareness for Missing People and Refuge. Whether you only sing in the shower or along to your car radio, or whether you see yourself belting out a showstopper at the O2 arena (which we've done!), there's a place for you in the Pimlico Rock Choir. With no singing audition or need to read music, anyone can come along to a FREE taster session and see why the Pimlico choir members recommend their friends! Here is a quote about our choir - 'I spend many hours every day driving and in meetings. It's often quite a struggle to get to Rock Choir and I often don't really feel like making the effort. Something magic happens when I get there - a combination of the unfailing cheerfulness of our Rock Choir tutor, the physical movement, breathing and singing, the (usually!) lovely sound of the combined voices of the choir - suddenly the stress of the day melts away, energy returns and a feeling of well-being arrives. It's been a difficult year for me - got divorced, my best friend with terminal illness passed away and I survived a tricky restructure at work, Rock Choir has often been the one really positive highlight in my week - thank you!' - Sue (Rock Choir Member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.

Messiah GF Handel Medici Choir with soloists from the Royal College of Music Charlotte Kennedy - Soprano Alexandria Moon - Mezzo-soprano Francis Melville - Tenor Alexander Semple - Bass Brandenburg Sinfonia Conductor David Gostick Experience the soaring heights of the Hallelujah chorus, the drama of the Christmas story, contemplative arias and mighty choruses. It's all there in the classic masterpiece that is Handel's Messiah. Messiah is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel. The text was compiled from the King James Bible and the Coverdale Psalter by Charles Jennens. It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere a year later. The oratorio has become one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.
