Choir

The Oriel Singers are a dynamic, ambitious, mixed voice  - and mixed age - classical choir of about 25 voices.

Based in Liverpool, England, we rehearse in Holy Trinity Church Wavertree on Tuesdays at 7pm.

Our programs usually alternate in being accompanied or unaccompanied, including some out of the ordinary programming as well as known favourites. 

The choir attracts singers from a wide variety of backgrounds, all of whom enjoy singing together. While as a chamber choir, the level of concentration within rehearsals is high, after concerts or the rehearsal there is usually a friendly group who continues to socialize in the pub and the choir has created many friendships over the years.

The Oriel Singers have a long standing history, having started as the Gerald Brown Singers in 1977 in Liverpool Parish Church (St Nick's). We were later renamed and have had a range of Musical Directors over the years, some of whom with outstanding careers and calling in Liverpool and beyond. 

Some more details about the illustrious history and promising future of this group will soon be added.
