The Royal Free Music Society is a friendly classical choir, now rehearsing in the Royal Free Hospital, Pond Street.  We’re a welcoming mixed voice choir with up to about 40 members.  There is no audition and you don’t need any previous choral experience, but we would hope you can hold a tune!  Rehearsals are on a Thursday evening at the the Royal Free.  We also enjoy regular parties, quizzes and summer picnics – and have had some wonderful concert trips abroad .  

Our Autumn Concert will be on Saturday 29 November 2025. (Please note this date has changed from 22 November.) We are planning to sing a double bill of Joseph Haydn’s Nelson Mass and brother Michael Haydn’s Requiem in C Minor.

WE WELCOME NEW MEMBERS, SO COME AND SING WITH  US!  Our  term started on the 11th September 2025, ends on 10 December 2025, and restarts on 8 January 2026.

We usually put on three concerts a year – often with an orchestra, most recently Belsize Baroque,  and talented guest soloists.  Recent performances include Albinoni, Jomelli, Pergolesi, Duruflé’s Requiem, Poulenc’s Gloria,  Bach, Faure, Handel, Pergolesi, Vivaldi. Major pieces include Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Coronation Mass.    We are proud to count St. Mark’s Church in Primrose Hill and St John’s Wood Church as regular concert venues.  

The Society is a registered charity (1151170), run by a committee, which is elected each year from and by the Society members.
