The Uxbridge Chamber Choir is an amateur SATB choir under the direction of founding conductor Tom Baker. Since 1983, the choir has brought unique performances of the great choral masterpieces from the Renaissance to modernity to the rural communities of Uxbridge and surrounding area. Together our enthusiastic singers develop and express their musical talents, often collaborating with local professional vocalists and instrumentalists. Recent performances include Beethoven's Mass in C, Gjeilo's Sunrise Mass, Mozart's Requiem, Monteverdi's Vespers, Bach's St. John Passion and Bernstein's Chichester Psalms.
Membership is by a non-threatening screening process at the first rehearsal. Rehearsals are Monday nights, September to May in Uxbridge.
