Long standing member Tony Maunder recently retired from the choir. We will miss him and his lovely tenor voice! Here are some photos of his final rehearsal.
And here are some photos of our first open air rehearsal in May 2021.
2020 was a non-event concert-wise, for obvious reasons!
However, we were not idle, and here are videos of us singing 'My Lord What a Morning' and Philip Stopford's setting of 'Ave Verum'.

Edward Morgan - Tenor Section
Edward was a talented man whose life experiences were incredibly varied, from guarding the BBC station at Start Point as a member of the Home Guard, aged 17, through farming, to the building trade. He played cricket and rugby, but singing was his great passion, starting to take it seriously in his 20's. becoming a Edward joined the Alvington Singers in our very early days - he sang many Tenor solos and won several prizes with his fine voice, continuing to sing with us until his illness made it too difficult to continue. A lovely man with a super sense of fun, who will be much missed in the choir.

Buckfast Abbey - October 2018
Our recent concert in Buckfast Abbey was very well attended despite the wild and stormy weather. 'The Little Jazz Mass' by Bob Chilcott was especially well received and the choir enjoyed performing with the jazz trio. We are always warmly welcomed in Buckfast Abbey and we look forward to performing there again in 2019.
Spring Concerts in Stokenham and Ugborough
How all our hard work paid off! Two memorable concerts, and the feedback from our audiences was very positive - 'It was a superb concert - I particularly enjoyed the Sunrise Mass which was sung superbly'.

30th ANNIVERSARY PARTY
Wednesday 25th November 2015
The rehearsal this evening was very special - we not only celebrated 30 years of the Alvington Singers, but also said thank you and "au revoir" to three long-standing choir members who have left the choir recently. Anne presented Dee, Angela and David with an engraved wine glass each, and we all enjoyed snacks prepared by the Bass section, some celebratory bubbles and a superb 30th Birthday Cake which was cut by three founder members of the choir.
Alastair Durden, our Musical Director until Christmas 2013 also joined us for the occasion. A real party!
