Horsley Choral Society Summer Concert

Published: 28 April 2025

Horsley Choral Society will be holding a joint summer concert with Oxshott Choral Society on Saturday 31st May at St John's School Chapel, Leatherhead. The concert entitled 'Summer Days - Summer Praise' will include music by Mozart, Handel and Mendelssohn with songs for a Summer evening. The choirs will be joined by professional soloists, Jane Searle (soprano); Elizabeth Searle (mezzo-soprano); Matthew Rickard (organist, pianist) and David Harvey (pianist accompanist). It will be a particularly poignant concert for both choirs as it will be the last with Musical Director, Valerie Beynon, who will step down from the conductor's podium at both HCS and OCS at the end of summer term. Tickets are on sale now Adults £18 Under 16 £6 Box Office : 07444 722318

A new era for HCS will begin in September when Elspeth Wyllie, currently MD of the Women's Choir of Blackheath Conservatoire takes over the baton. If you would like to become part of this friendly mixed voice choir, come along any Monday evening during term time at East Horsley Village Hall (8-10pm) for some free taster rehearsals ; no audition necessary, just a love of music and the ability to hold a tune!
