WIMBLEDON CHORAL FOR THE BENEFIT OF “DONATE TO PROTECT CHILDREN IN THE UKRAINE”
This is a specially devised performance pairing the mesmerising settings of Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil with selected movements of Britten’s Cello Suites Nos 1 and 3. The cello soloist for this concert is the outstanding Joely Koos.
The present Wimbledon Choral is over one hundred years old, founded in the early stages of the First World War. Today we are a modern, dynamic group of singers, making sure we keep our reputation as one of the finest amateur choirs of the south east. Under Neil Ferris’ inspiring musical direction, we perform regularly with professional orchestras and soloists in major concert venues in and around London.

Read MoreThe London Chorus – Vaughan Williams Five Tudor Portraits – 7.30pm
Join The London Chorus for a rare performance of Vaughan Williams Five Tudor Portraits, 7.30pm 12 March 2026 at Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square.
The London Chorus presents a thrilling programme of the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, one of the greatest of all British composers and a Chelsea resident for 24 years. His Five Tudor Portraits, masterful settings of the poems of John Skelton, priest and tutor to Henry VIII, are at times bawdy, poignant and witty, and deserve to be heard far more often.
We also hear his popular Five Mystical Songs, settings of the 17th-century poet and priest George Herbert, and his Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1, which conjures up an eloquent aural portrait of the Norfolk landscape and its people through five locally-sourced folk songs.
