  The Nottingham Boys Choir    (est. 1983) Classical Choir of Men and Boys 
Print Friendly Page 
The Nottingham Boys Choir As well as regular public performances, the Choir also makes high quality digital recordings for their tapes and CDs, and there is increasing demand around and beyond the Nottingham area for the Choir to appear in concert and at other events. In recent years, choir programmes have blended music from the 13th to the 20th centuries maintaining a balance between sacred and secular, serious and popular. Standard classics have included Faure's Requiem, Vivaidi's Gloria, Handel's Zadok the Priest, and rarer items such as Blow's Ode for St. Cecilia's Day-, Purcell's Welcome Ode of 1683, complete with period instruments. Choir favourites range from Gaudete and Panis Angelicus, to show stoppers like Gospel Train and Goodbye Jazz. The hauntingly beautiful Michelle (Lennon & McCartney), Streets of London (McTell) and Summertime (Gershwin's-) are also much requested.

The boys continue to welcome invitations to sing at a variety of church services and weddings and to join forces with other choral and instrumental groups (The Derby Bach Choir, the Australian Boys' Choir, Tozer Dance Studio, the Trent Concert Band and the Nottingham Millennium Concert Choir of 2000) in large scale performances.
