The group was formed originally in 1971 with friends getting together to sing Christmas carols to the accompaniment of an antique portable harmonium. The instrument itself has long been left behind but the group has gone from strength to strength and established itself as a successful local chamber choir.

Often singing without accompaniment, the Harmonium Singers specialise in smaller-scale choral repertoire from the 16th century to the present day, both sacred and secular.  Thoughtful sequences of words and music with a particular theme or spiritual dimension have become a feature of programmes.  The group often performs for local community or charity events in and around Andover.  For more details see About us.

We are delighted to be back to regular weekly rehearsals.  We don't expect to make any public appearances until December but can't wait to get started on preparations for our traditional Christmas concert, which this year marks our 50th anniversary.  We are currently looking for tenors (who isn't?) so please get in touch if you have a good, steady and confident voice and can read/follow music to some extent.

We are very sad to report the death of our long-term member and friend Geraldine McCaulder. As a singer and committee member Gerry was very influential in the development of the choir for many years, especially her role of selecting appropriate readings for concerts and her contacts with local charities.  She will be much missed by all who knew her.  May she rest in peace.
