Quorum, Milton Keynes
Quorum is a small, high quality, chamber choir based in Milton Keynes. We specialise in Renaissance and Contemporary sacred choral music and are well known for innovative and imaginative programming. The choir has an outstanding reputation for singing challenging, unaccompanied repertoire, to the highest standard.
The choir is flexible, able to provide suitable music for a wide range of church services and other events, such as music festivals. Each year Quorum sings weekend services at major cathedrals around the country. We are available to sing at weddings in the Milton Keynes/North Bucks area.
The group is considered ‘quorate’ when there are enough people present to cover each part, hence the name Quorum.
The choir is based at St Mary Magdalene Church, Willen in Milton Keynes where each year we sing several Evensong services and an annual carol service. Quorum has a long tradition of singing Evensong services at local churches in the local area.
The current musical director is Chris Williams.
If you are interested in joining Quorum please contact us using the form provided. Singers need to be strong sight readers (we do not work on notes), able to commit to regular rehearsals on a Monday evening and able to blend well. Vacancies arise from time to time and we are always interested in hearing from high quality singers who are able to sing at specific services in cathedrals and take solo parts where required.
