New for this year, you will be able to peruse and purchase from a craft table featuring collection of Singer’s crafts for sale, before and after the event. Proceeds will be directed to our Durham England 2025 trip.
Next up is an annual tradition – Yuletide Cheer – taking place on Saturday, November 30th, 2024. At this concert we celebrate the joy of the season and invite the audience to sing some of our holiday favourites. Artistic Director Syd Birrell will again be at the organ and will be joined by the amazing Venabrass Quintet to make the event even more memorable.

After the holidays, we are delighted to invite you to a celebration of The Music of ABBA, taking place on Saturday, March 1st, 2025.

Our final concert of the year, Mozart Requiem, will take place on Saturday, May 10th, 2025. This concert will be a tribute to one of the most celebrated and revered compositions in classical music, composed in 1791, during the final months and beyond the end of Mozart’s life. The Peterborough Singers will perform the complete masterwork, known for its profound beauty and emotional depth. They will be joined by Ian Sadler at the organ and four outstanding soloists, Lesley Bouza (Soprano), Lillian Brooks (Mezzo), David Walsh (Tenor), and Christopher Dunham (Bass).
And as a bonus, you will enjoy musical selections from the Peterborough Singers’ summer 2025 trip to sing at Durham Cathedral in England.
