A New Era

Welcome to Twickenham Choral, recognised as one of the foremost choirs in West London.

2024 was a momentous year for the choir, with the retirement in June of Christopher Herrick after fifty glorious years at the helm, marked by a memorable concert of Verdi’s Requiem at Cadogan Hall, London. While Christopher’s retirement marked the end of an era, we were delighted to appoint Howard Ionascu as Musical Director and Conductor from September, heralding a new era for the choir.

The choir thoroughly enjoyed its first term under Howard’s exuberant baton, bringing fresh and considered techniques to rehearsals, and coaxing the very best from each member.  Our first concert under Howard’s direction, Handel’s Messiah, on 21st December, was a triumph, enjoyed by both the choir and our sell out audience! You can read more about Howard on our News and Events pages.

We have an exciting repertoire planned with performances both locally and at the Royal Albert Hall in 2025.

Our next concert is Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 at the Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington on Saturday 5th April.  

If you are interested in joining we would love to hear from you.
