It’s full on but fun!
We generally have a choral workshop at least twice a year, giving us time to focus on vocal technique and polish our performances. These are led by some top musicians who help us add another dimension to our tonal quality and performance impact.
We’re a social bunch and regularly get together outside rehearsals and concerts.
Orpheus has a vibrant and colourful history. If you’d like to know more, download our brief history, listen to us or check out our news and reviews via the buttons below.

It's not all hard work!
Singing in Orpheus has been one of life's great experiences. The emotional highs of the music and the performances are something I shall always treasure as well as the enduring friendships I've formed.

We're a sociable bunch — we always celebrate after concerts and our annual quiz night has been a highlight for me.
