THE SOMERSET CHAMBER CHOIR was formed in 1984 from a nucleus of singers who had sung together in the Somerset Youth Choir. members are recruited between the ages of 18 and 35 years. The joy of making music has remained its inspiration and motivation. Under the dynamic leadership of its present Musical Director, Graham Caldbeck, the Choir has developed an enviable reputation for the performance of challenging and varied repertoire. Four or five weekends of intensive rehearsal (and social life) during the year culminate in two concerts per annum, one at the turn of the year and one in July. Most of the Choir's fifty or so members have their roots in Somerset although many now study or work elsewhere, and it is a mark of the Choir's musical and social success that many members travel considerable distances in order to take part in rehearsals and concerts.
