Welcome to the Sittingbourne Orpheus web site.
I have been a member of the Orpheus since 1971 and became Chairman in September, 2009. Since I joined the choir there have been several changes, but it has always had loyal support from the local community. I have enjoyed my years of singing with this dedicated group of singers and look forward to many more!

Our first concert of the season will be our annual Christmas Concert, when we will be singing Rutter's Magnificat and a selection of seasonal favourites, which we hope will get everyone's Christmas off to a flying start! Our other concert this season is in May, when we will sing Brahms's German Requiem which is a beautiful piece. If you would like to join us, you would be very welcome.

My job as Chairman will be to ensure that the choir continues to grow. We always welcome new members, and so please contact us for joining details and more information. There are no auditions for membership. Singers of all abilities, of all ages (from 14 to over 80 years), and from all walks of life are encouraged to find, rediscover or develop their skills. The only commitment we ask of a member is to have an enthusiasm for singing and to attend about 40 rehearsals and two concerts per year. We look forward to hearing from you!

We hope you find this site of interest: we are always pleased to hear from other organisations, supporters, or those who have an interest in music, wherever you are in the world.
