Rosenethe Singers, of which we are around 50 members, is an excellent size to perform the great works of choral music, such as Bach's St. Matthew & St. John Passions, Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Requiem.

 

While performing repertoire familiar to many, we aim to introduce less well-known and more contemporary works to our audience: the 2021-22 season concluded with a fabulous concert, with a mixed media performance of Fanshawe's wonderful African Sanctus; during the 2019-20 season, it was exciting and challenging to sing Mass for Double Choir by the Swiss composer, Frank Martin; the 2017-18 season concluded with a thrilling Spring Concert* on 29th April, of Bernstein, Janáček and Kodály; and in November 2017, the Singers performed the U.K. premiere of Duggan's Kontakion for Bornholm with super reviews.

 

In April 2017 we were visited by Panumkoret, a choir from Denmark, for a wonderful joint concert of Scottish and Danish music.

* "This was the kind of programming you would encounter at a Festival or a Competition and was challenging in many ways and rewarding in others. In this concert there was a rare gift - a chance to discover "new" music – new sounds and unusual combinations. Priceless." (D. Hugh Macdonald, Spring Concert 2018, Review)
