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.
CORONAVIRUS
As with all choirs, we are not able to meet or perform during the Coronavirus outbreak. As a result our planned concert at Abbotts Ann on 1 May has been postponed. When we have a new date we will put this on our Future Events page. In December we plan to start celebrating our 50th anniversary so let us hope this awful virus will be gone by then. In the meantime we urge all our singers, past members, followers and supporters to do all they can to stay safe, keep well and help others when necessary.
