Collegium Singers logowww.collegiumsingers.org.uk

Collegium Singers was originally established in 1994 by a group of singers who enjoy performing music specifically suited to a small chamber choir (known as Taunton Camerata until 2009).  The group developed a reputation for excellent performance of interesting programmes for singers, players and audiences alike. Repertoire includes vocal works from the eleventh century to the present day including several baroque present-day premières, with musicians drawn from recognised professional period ensembles.  With the current Musical Director, Peter Leech, Collegium Singers are exploring beautiful music suited to chamber choirs,  particularly from renaissance and baroque periods,  interspersed with programmes of suitable works from more recent and living composers.

Rehearsals are on Monday evenings in Taunton. Membership is around 25. Collegium Singers are interested to hear from prospective  members with a clear and blending vocal tone and experience of singing in a small ensemble. Auditions are friendly and take place following a few rehearsals.   For more information please email info@collegiumsingers.org.uk

Collegium Singers is a Registered Charity 1116300
