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.
We are now well into our first year under under Howard’s exuberant baton, performing to sell-out audiences for both our Messiah concert at Christmas and more recently, Monteverdi’s virtuosic Vespers of 1610 accompanied by His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts and the Monteverdi String Band, a first partnership for both the choir and their debut in Teddington! You can read more about Howard on our News and Events pages.
Our next concert is on Saturday 5th July at St. Mary’s Church, Twickenham, in a programme of British and American choral music. This is followed on Sunday 13th July at the Royal Albert Hall when we have been invited to support our friends in the Vivace Chorus in a performance of Berlioz’ Te Deum, as they bid farewell to their longstanding conductor, Jeremy Backhouse.
If you are interested in joining we would love to hear from you.
