The Summerhill Choral Society was founded in September 1994 by Andrew Biggs, Head of Music at Summerhill School, Kingswinford. The Summerhill Choral Society consists of past and present pupils aged 12-18, plus staff. We are a mixed choir of 40 singers and our aim is to develop a lifelong love of choral singing through an enjoyable but disciplined approach across a wide and varied repertoire.

Our concert programme is a busy one: the concert diary for 2007 was full well before Christmas last year and we are already receiving concert requests for 2008. Many of these are given in and around the locality, but our travels have also taken us to Germany, Czech Republic, France and in October of 2001 to Austria, where during a visit to the German town of Oberammergau, we were given the opportunity to perform on the stage of the famous Passion Play Theatre. We made a return trip to Germany in Easter 2006. The choir have also sung in Strasbourg Cathedral, Notre Dame De Paris, The Fantasy Theatre Disneyland Paris, Chester Cathedral, St Chad's Metropolitain Cathedral, St Philip's Cathedral, Birmingham where they sung Choral Evensong as one of the visiting choirs and London's Royal Albert Hall. We have recently recorded our seventh C.D was released in 2006 as well as a selection of hymns and sacred music to be broadcast on B.B.C. Radio. Our choral singing has been broadcast on two occasions by Radio Classic FM and also on local television when we were invited to record the background music for a Building Society advertisement.
