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 Summer concert will be on Saturday 14th June at St Peter’s Church, Belsize Square where we will be performing Pergolesi’s “Magnificat” and a requiem by the lesser-known Baroque composer, Jommelli, “Missa Pro Defunctis”, supported by Belsize Baroque orchestra.
WE WELCOME NEW MEMBERS, SO COME AND SING WITH US! Our next term starts on 5 April 2025.
We usually put on three concerts a year – often with an orchestra, most recently Belsize Baroque, and talented guest soloists. Recent performances include Duruflé’s Requiem, Poulenc’s Gloria, Faure’s Requiem, Bach, 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.
