Summer Ball – Saturday 25th July 2009

No anniversary year for an organisation such as Swindon Male Voice Choir is complete without an exciting and entertaining Summer Ball, and this is being developed for Mid Summer 2009.

Saturday 31^st October 2009 a major concert of Brass and Voices is being staged at The Royal Albert Hall, London . 

“Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons.  You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.”

Whilst we relish the big events we delight in visiting local smaller venues, supporting local groups and organisations to help their constant battle to fund their charities and causes. 

While big events are fabulous, some of our finest choral moments and memories over 90 years have been created in village churches and halls where the magic of the venue, with the intimacy created by a friendly audience are truly magical.  With these magical moments the woes of the world seem to disappear – if but for a short while.

Further details will be added to this website nearer the various events.  If you require details of any of these events please send your request using the email link:
