With a long and illustrious history – celebrating its Centenary in 2022 – Twickenham Choral is one of the foremost choirs in West London. With more than 100 members of all ages, drawn from West London, Surrey and beyond, the choir works with excellent professional soloists and orchestras, producing outstanding performances.
Concerts are staged at least three times a year, in local venues and Central London concert halls. Over the years, the choir has sung all the great works from the choral repertoire and also explored less familiar music, ranging from Renaissance to the present day, including several commissioned works. Biennial tours to destinations in Europe are a popular staple. Choral workshops also feature regularly, with the most recent focusing on the complexities of Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 – a fantastic event co-led by Howard Ionascu and professional Soprano Kirsty Hopkins.
In September 2024, Twickenham Choral welcomed Howard Ionascu as their new Conductor, picking up the baton from Christopher Herrick who had held the position for an impressive fifty years. Together with Assistant Conductor Daniel King Smith, Howard leads a dynamic and challenging rehearsal schedule, bringing enormous enthusiasm and a focus on excellence to this ever-ambitious choir.

New members are welcome throughout the year with rehearsals between September and July on Thursday evenings from 7.00 pm to 9.30 pm at St. Catherine’s School, Cross Deep, Twickenham, TW1 4QJ.
