They are a friendly non-audition choir, performing regular concerts with professional soloists, often with orchestral accompaniment. For more than 80 years they have been proud to present not only the great choral masterpieces, but new and unusual repertoire which has both delighted and challenged their members and audiences.

Rehearsals take place at 7.45pm on Tuesday evenings in the Upper Hall, at the URC Church, at Shaw's Corner, RH1 6AU, mid-way between Reigate and Redhill.

All potential new members are welcome and if you think you might be interested, please contact Membership Secretary, Sarah (rrcsmembership@gmail.com). Whether or not you consider yourself a singer, or maybe haven't sung for years (or never), this could be the choir for you.
