Parnham Voices is a small chamber choir formed in 2002, the singers coming from a wide area centred on Beaminster, Dorset. We sing all types of music for unaccompanied voices - medieval to modern, sacred and secular - including masses and motets, anthems and folk songs, Victorian pieces and evergreens from the 20's and 30's.

Our repertoire expands year on year and encompasses composers such as Byrd, Tallis, Bach, Hindemith, Stravinsky, Grieg, Orff, Cole Porter and Jerome Kern, to name but a few.

Recent performances have included an evening of sacred music  at St Michael's Church, Lyme Regis, with Tallis Lamentations of Jeremiah, Bach Jesu Meine Freude, readings and organ solos. Concerts in Bridport and Crewkerne included Glinka's Cherubic Hymn and Viadana's Exultate justi as well as English partsongs and Cole Porter classics. For the 180th celebrations at St Swithun's Church, Bridport, we of course sang As torrents in Summer, Didn't it rain, and Somewhere over the rainbow.

Our 2008 season began with an early evening concert in Brownsword Hall, Poundbury in aid of the Wedmar Hospicecare Trust and our next concert will be on Sunday, 6thApril 2008 at St Mary's, Beaminster.

Fine music can enhance any occasion - if you would like Parnham Voices to provide music at your event, be it a wedding, dinner, memorial service or fund-raising concert, please email
