Harrow Choral Society is a classical, auditioned choir of 80 members, singing a repertoire of established choral masterpieces as well as more contemporary works under the baton of Music Director, Sam Evans. We perform 4 concerts a year at Harrow School Speech Room, the Elliott Hall, Harrow Arts Centre and at St. Alban’s Church, North Harrow, our regular rehearsal venue. Away Days give us the opportunity to perform elsewhere in the UK and in recent years we have undertaken tours to several European countries.
Our lively rehearsals are held on Monday evenings from 7:45 - 9:45pm in St. Alban’s Church Hall.

We are very fortunate to have Sam Evans as our Music Director. His musical and teaching skill, humour and dedication make the learning of challenging pieces achievable and thoroughly enjoyable. Paul Ayres, our brilliant accompanist and Assistant Music Director, is an essential and highly valued part of our organisation.
