Saturday 23rd June 2018: A Musical Meander
9th December 2017 : An International Journey To Christmas
The United Singers delivered two Christmas concerts in December 2017; our first at St Peter's in South Weald, where our first performance was joined by the school children of St Peter's Primary School. The church was well-filled by an appreciative audience who enjoyed a wide variety of carols from around the world, including one in French and one in German! The children sang really well and it was a pleasure to have them join us for a couple of jointly-sung pieces.
Our second performance was at St Mary's Church in Hornchurch which was another lovely experience for both choir and audience. It is always good to perform in different venues that give us different challenges in performing our repertoire.
We are pleased to announce that we were able to raise just over £500 for our two charitable causes. Come and join us at our next performance in the summer of 2018!

24th June 2017: Midsummer Singing |
9th July 2017: Summertime Singing |
Midsummer Singing was received by an incredibly appreciative audience of around 140 people on Saturday 24th June at Holy Cross Church, Hornchurch. The varied programme, accompanied by a superb 15-strong chamber orchestra, was enjoyed by all who attended. It was commented that the music we presented emoted a lovely mix of joy and poignancy. Many members of the audience told the United Singers that they witnessed a concert with a strong "feel good factor": something needed at this time in the United Kingdom. United Singers would like to thank all those who came to support us and all those involved in the organisation of the concert itself, especially the musicians who accompanied them so well.

Mellifluous Midsummer Melodies!Mellifluous Midsummer Melodies was a great success. This early evening concert featured a wide selection of music from both the sacred and secular genres of the choral repertoire as well as a variety of instrumental and solo vocal music, including two pieces performed by local professional oboist Hannah Moseley; United Singers was accompanied by a small, high quality, orchestral ensemble which enhanced the evening's entertainment.
United Singers sang their hearts out and produced such a good standard of performance that we received many compliments of delight and high praise from those attending the concert. Recordings of the concert can be heard by clicking the button below. Enjoy! |

Contemplating Christmas
This was our inaugural concert! We were pleased to offer an afternoon of thoughtful reflection upon the story of Christmas using a mixture of words and music. This concert was the culmination of three months' hard work, in about eight rehearsals. We performed no fewer than three new carols penned by Tom Rodgers, our Director of Music.
We were pleased to see an audience of over 120 attend. You can click the link below to listen to our concert. |
