The Surrey Hills Chamber Choir celebrates its success at the Cheltenham Music festival.

The day started by winning the Sacred Class with an outstanding grade of 91. After lunch the choir achieved a second place in the folk song class with another outstanding grade of 90, losing by one point to The Chanterelles.

The event on May 18 culminated with the mixed voice class in the evening, where the choir was not only thrilled to receive another first place and an outstanding grade of 91, but was also awarded the gold cup for the most memorable performance.

The choir is now starting to learn new repertoire and would love to hear from any basses who would be interested in joining.
