The Stuart Singers is a group of about 50 singers who enjoy making music with others.
We meet every week for rehearsals and perform around 12 concerts a year both locally and further a field.
Occasionally we embark on a tour with Holland being the last destination. Our next outing is to Cullompton, Devon in April 2024.
The last picture shows the "Smurf Chorus" singing at a Rememberance Day Ceremony at the War Cemetery in Venray.
If you would like us to sing for your charity then please contact Janet Brown, jandj.brown@btinternet.com
Based in Minchinhampton our members are gathered from the local area with some coming
from Cheltenham and Gloucester.
We rehearse at the school and sing "home concerts" at Holy Trinity Minchinhampton.
The programmes are always mixed. They may include all male or all female numbers and also small group numbers which are formed on an ad hoc basis within the choir and rehearsed outside the main practice.
Some of the Choir's favourite numbers are a medley from "Les Miserables", "Anthem" from Chess and "Fix You" by Coldplay.
No music qualifications are required. Although the ability to read music and a grasp of music theory is useful it is not a prerequisite.
Each candidate member will audition away from the Choir before being accepted as a member.
Whether you are new to singing in a choir or a seasoned campaigner you will be welcomed.
We cannot promise that you will get to sing in a huge tent with a Dutch Wind Band and two other choirs or sing in a Municipal Theatre with an orchestra ; but who knows what will be next.
If you don't sing you can still support the Choir by joining as a Friend or a Sponsor.
A Friend of the Stuart Singer (FOSS) is eligible for a discounted ticket for our "home" concerts and is included in any social events that might happen. For instance, a quiz, skittles evening and of course the annual dinner.

The Musical Director of the Stuart Singers is Helen Sims. The role includes choosing the numbers for Concerts and reviewing the repertoire each year.
We are very lucky to have engaged Matthew Sharp as our pianist. His quiet enthusiasm and understated playing are much appreciated.
The Stuart Singers are very grateful for the continued support of our Sponsors.
