Welcome to the Kingston Choral Society website

Kingston Choral Society is a friendly mixed-voice choir based in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey. We give four concerts a year, mostly in Kingston and Surbiton but also in Cadogan Hall, Chelsea, performing with professional orchestras and soloists. Our concerts cover a wide range of music from the 18th century through to the present day, including new works by contemporary composers.

We have about 120 singers and welcome new members. Please browse through the site to find out more about us.

Our last concert, on 31 March, was a highly successfull performance of Bach’s St John Passion in Cadogan Hall, Chelsea, with Andrew Staples as a wonderful Evangelist. Rehearsals for the summer concert, A Night at the Opera, have started at the Hollyfield School, Surbiton. A chance to brush up our Czech, French and Italian under the expert tuition of our Musical Director, Andrew Griffiths.

A Night at the Opera: Saturday 30 June at 7.30pm in St Andrew’s Church, Surbiton

Kingston Choral Society is thrilled to spend ‘A Night at the Opera’ with two of today’s most exciting young singers: Elisabeth Meister, who has already sung leading roles at the Royal Opera, Chicago Lyric Opera and Santiago, and Korean tenor Ji-Min Park, whose recent engagements have included Covent Garden and the Sydney Opera House. They are joined by pianist Susanna Stranders and conductor Andrew Griffiths for a sparkling evening of arias, duets and choruses – some firm favourites, some less well known – ranging from Mozart to Mascagni.
