Schedule

Reigate St Mary's is one of an elite group of fewer than 40 schools who can claim full membership of the Choir School Association (CSA), and the only one not attached to a cathedral. Named after its founder, who bequeathed his home to the school, the Godfrey Searle Choir maintains a valuable legacy, singing Morning Prayer and Evensong each week in St Mary's Church, led by Talitha Glynne-Jones. 

They will be first to perform on the Community Stage at the Church in the High Street (Reigate Methodist Church), from 5-5.30pm on Friday 14th June, providing a rare and beautiful opening to this inaugural Reigate Summer Festival. All welcome.

Doors will open 15 minutes before the published start time.

ENTRANCE IS FREE and seats are offered on a first come, first served basis.

The u3a Singing for Pleasure group was formed just over 14 years ago. They meet fortnightly at the Woodhatch Community Centre with accompanist, Gina Eason. There are generally about 30 members, men and women, who work on a programme for about three months followed by performances to local residential homes and sheltered accommodation. Programmes vary – sometimes works from just one composer, or songs from a show (both film and theatre). The choir has performed on many occasions with the u3a performing arts group and more recently with the u3a MID8DLE jazz group. 

The u3a Choir sing for pleasure and certainly gain a sense of wellbeing from enjoying music with the company of like-minded folk.
