WINTERTIDE – charity fundraiser

A vibrant selection of winter-themed music to brighten this dark, chilly season. Hear the choir perform for the first time in this historic venue with a short programme of choral pieces on a winter’s afternoon.

Proceeds will be divided between the Lord Mayor’s charity ISRAAC, and South Yorkshire Refugee Law & Justice, which offers vital help to people displaced, at risk of human rights abuses, and cut adrift from state support.

Sheffield Chamber Choir is a vibrant ensemble of highly experienced musicians with a common goal – producing imaginative choral performances of the very highest artistic quality. Recent concerts include opening the renowned Bradfield Music Festival in June 2024, a fundraiser for the historic Keates organ at St Augustines, Brocco Bank, and a candlelit performance of Handel’s Messiah (part 1) with chamber orchestra.

The choir makes occasional cathedral visits, but also offer occasional sung services to smaller churches without a choir. It also offers fundraising concerts for charities, building appeals, etc. and is available to hire for weddings, funerals and other occasions.
