Our next concert will feature music by Vaughan Williams, Finzi and McDowall on Sat 22 November at St James Church, Muswell Hill.
Last month we were very pleased to present a silver salver, amongst other gifts from many choir members, to our accompanist Catherine Borner to mark twenty years of her playing with us. ![]()

To celebrate the occasion, Catherine also performed Finzi's Eclogue for Piano and Strings at our concert in November with the Meridian Sinfonia, conducted by our Musical Director Murray Hipkin.![]()

We performed a programme of music based around the theme of war and its devastating consequences, and so it was very important to us that we could support a charity that aids the victims of war by training doctors to operate in disaster and conflict zones.![]()

It's a rare privilege for us as a choir to meet the composer of one of our concert pieces which we'll typically have worked on for at least 10 weeks. Last night was one of those occasions, when we were honoured to welcomeCecilia McDowalla McDowall to our penultimate weekly rehearsal before our 22 November cSt James Muswell Hillswell Hill. We were also treated to a preview of tenor soloist James Robinson's mellifluous tones which soar over the chorus at key moments. For we singers it was also a bit nerve-wracking to have Cecilia in our midst as we ran the entire work while she lent us a critical ear. We really appreciated her feedback which will help us to refine our delivery, making our performance perfect on the big day! Tickets are selling well and there is still some availability so book while you can. tickets.northlondonchorus.org/
