We perform at a variety of functions each year including weddings, birthdays, Christmas concerts and fundraisers for other charitable and worthy good causes. We also stage our own concerts, sometimes inviting other choirs, brass bands and young people from local school choirs and ensembles to perform with us. The choir has competed in the Radio Shropshire Choir of the Year competition, Minsterley Eisteddfod, the Shrewsbury International Music Festival and the Shrewsbury Flower Show.

Charity Work
We achieved registered charity status in February 2009 which significantly enhances our ability to support local charities and good causes. We are entirely self-financing and proud to have helped raise many thousands of pounds for other organizations over the years.
Each year we choose a charity to support and concert fees for that year go directly to it. This year, choir members have voted to support the Alzheimer’s Research UK Shropshire Fundraising group.
Every year the choir organises a singing tour. This broadens the choir experience and gives us the opportunity to share our music with new audiences. The Choir has visited Canada, Germany and Belgium, all of which were very successful both socially and musically, with concerts in larger often very ornate Gothic venues being the high points. In 2010 we stayed closer to home and were very pleased to visit the beautiful City of York and then delighted to be invited to sing in the Minster there. For 2016, we were invited to Spain.
