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

The 2024-25 season was the first under our new conductor Howard Ionascu following the retirement of Christopher Herrick after fifty years at the helm.

The season saw a number of firsts,  notably, sell out performances of Handel’s Messiah and Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610  some two months in advance of performances, and working with His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts and the Monteverdi String Band for the Vespers, a first partnership for both the choir and the ensemble’s  debut in Teddington!

Our season concluded in July with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall as guests of the Vivace Chorus, Guildford, for  their conductor Jeremy Backhouse’s farewell concert in a demanding programme which included Berlioz’s Te Deum accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

We start the 2025-26 season with a performance of Duruflé’s Requiem in Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square, a new venue for us, quickly followed a few weeks later by Bach’s Christmas Oratorio in Kingston Parish Church on 20th December.  Our schedule is no less busy in 2026, with Haydn’s Seasons in March and a wealth of English choral music in July, interspersed with a performance as part of Richmond Arts’ International Women’s Day on 8th March and a tour to Latvia in April!

If you are interested in joining and would like to come and give us a try we would love to hear from you.
