Welcome to the Royal Tunbridge Wells Choral Society

The Royal Tunbridge Wells Choral Society is a friendly, amateur, mixed-voice choir drawing singers from all walks of life, student to senior. We are led, taught and inspired by our professional music director – the conductor and pianist Robyn Sevastos – and accompanist Craig Hudson. Each year, the Choir stages two major works from the classical choral repertoire, with professional soloists and orchestra, and two more informal concerts, at Christmas, and in the summer.

If you would like to sing with the Choir, please check the membership page. Rehearsals take place on Mondays during term time, 7:30-9:30pm, at St John’s Church, Amherst Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4 9LG.
