Choir Concerts
2024 Concerts
Our first concert of the year was at Shirley Methodist Church in Croydon with the Excellent Croydon Male Voice Choir. We have been sharing joint concerts with this choir for over 20 years. It was a pleasure to take part with them as always. Click on the link below to see a Video of the Quodlibet we performed together:- I Believe / Ave Maria
THE SWIFTS GET GOING ! Article from Focus on 29th March 2024
The Swift Singers Ladies Choir has recently held it’s AGM and is now ready to fly into Spring and Summer.
We have a few ‘away’ concerts arranged which we are so excited about and are busy learning new songs to perform.
The first of our away concerts is planned for April, when we’ll be travelling to Croydon to join with our friends The Croydon Male Voice Choir for an evening of singing and then possibly ‘a little bit of socialising’.
Two more ‘away’ concerts in July will follow – one in Burwash (a delightful village in East Sussex, home to Rudyard Kipling) and another concert closer to home in Southend where will be joining The Orpheus Singers.
Other concerts are planned later in the Autumn/Winter and more information on those will follow closer to the time. Watch this space!
If you think you would like to join us or perhaps come along one evening to see what we’re all about, please get in touch with Jean on 07966 676794. We meet in SW Village Hall on Tuesday evenings at 8.15. Hope to see you soon!
2023 Concerts
On the 28th October we had a brilliant joint concert with The Leigh Orpheus Male Voice Choir.
June also took us to Peterborough where we had been invited to participate in the Peterborough International Womens Choral Festival in Peterborough Cathedral. There was a combined concert on Saturday 17th June for all the choirs who took part. It was a wonderful event and we learned a lot
On 10th June we had a very sucessful concert with the Male Voice Choir Men2Sing in South Woodham Ferrers at the William de Ferrers Centre.
Our first concert of the year was locally at Maldon URC on the 22nd April starting at 7.30pm.
On the 20th May 2022 we gave a concert at Chelmsford Cathedral as part of their popular Lunchtime series
Our final concert for our 30th Anniversary year was also Clive's last performance with the Swift Singers. We welcomed the Leigh Orpheus Choir to South Woodham Ferrers for a combined Christmas concert- Gaudete. Both choirs performed a selection of traditional, modern and quirky christmas music, including Gaudete, This Little Babe, The First Nowell, Jingle Bells, Winter Solstice, A Guiding Star. Janet and Clive performed a wonderful duet and both choirs joined for a rousing performance of the Hallelujah Chorus. We were fundraising for Clive's chosen charity - Barrow Farm Riding for the Disabled, and were able to send them a sizable donation after the evening. At the end of the concert both choirs presented Clive with retirement gifts, including a photobook with memorable moments from the Swift Singers last 25 years! I think all agreed that the evening was a great success! Please see the picture gallery for a selection of photos of the evening.
