Conductor Christopher Herrick's Farewell Concert

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

On 22nd June 2024 our esteemed conductor Christopher Herrick put down his baton after fifty years at the helm of Twickenham Choral wiht a stunning concert at Cadogan Hall, Sloane Square.  The evening also marked the 150th anniversary of the first performance of Verdi’s Requiem and we welcomed a stunning line up of soloists, the Brandenburg Sinfonia and additional trumpeters from the Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama who joined us for this special concert.

Christopher’s half-century with the choir was characterised by his innate musicianship and ability to coax the best from each and every member. The choir has grown in size as well as in ability and reputation through his judicious choice of repertoire alongside top-class instrumentalists and vocal soloists.

The choir is enormously grateful to Christopher for his unfailing commitment and dedication, inspiration and musicianship which has both stretched and inspired Twickenham Choral to new performance heights.

Our performance of Verdi’s impassioned Requiem was no exception and proved to be a poignant and memorable evening for performers and audience alike.

Thank you, Christopher!

Our next concert is Handel’s Messiah on 21st December at the Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington.  

If you are interested in joining we would love to hear from you.  Rehearsals for our Autumn concert start with an Open Rehearsal on Saturday 14th September. Further details will be announced shortly.  Please check back here for details.
