The choir currently consists of approximately 50 members. The primary aim is enjoyment and appreciation of all types of music. The repertoire include ballads, classical, works by Bach, Handel, Verdi and other well known composers as well as songs from the shows -e.g. musical comedy. Most works are SATB but some are TB or SA. The occasional unison song is sung.

Judy will not be leaving the Choir, however, staying on as shared accompanist and occasional vocalist. Her dedication to the music and her warm and
cheery personality made her a popular leader and Choir members and the wider U3A community thank her for her wonderful contribution over so many years.
We have great pleasure in welcoming our new Director, Meredith Vincent, and look forward to working with her as we prepare and present our programme of concerts for 2012.
