The Alvington Singers was formed in 1985 as a chamber choir of about 30 members, currently up to 36. The choir is based in Kingsbridge, and its members come from around the South Hams.
Our Musical Director - Harriet Oakley
Repertoire
The choir's repertoire covers a wide range of sacred and secular music - works that are performed unaccompanied or are accompanied by keyboard, organ or instrumental ensembles.
Rehearsals
Rehearsals take place on Wednesday evenings in the Methodist Church in Kingsbridge. (7.00 pm - 9.00 pm).
We are always keen to hear from singers interested in joining our choir. We try to keep the parts in balance so if we don't have space in your voice part, we will keep your name on a waiting list.

The choir is always keen to encourage young musicians, and we try to regularly include them in our concerts. We are happy to waive our normal subscriptions to encourage young musicians to join the choir and to help those preparing for College or University applications.
Whilst the majority of our members are older, we are keen to promote young performers and frequently invite local students to take part. Concerts take place in a variety of venues, usually to raise money for charitable causes - the choir nominates a local charity to support at the beginning of each year. In addition to concerts, we are often invited to sing at weddings, functions and local festivals.
