Works by local composers have frequently featured in the choir's programmes in recent years.

Anybody from any walk of life who is over 50 and not in full time employment is welcome to join - no qualifications are needed, and none are awarded, as we are not an academic institution. Our emphasis is on learning for pleasure. We are a "self help" organisation in that all activities are carried out by volunteer members, using the experience of their careers or life in general. We currently have over 450 members who take part in a wide range of activities, from Art to Wine Appreciation. These mainly take place in interest groups varying in size from about 6 to 20 members.
