Surrey Hills Chamber Choir

From the heart of Southern England, the Surrey Hills Chamber Choir (SHCC) was founded in 2005. With a membership of up to 32 people, the choir comprises enthusiastic amateurs from many different walks of life, all brought together by the joy of singing and the desire to perform to the best of their ability. The choir enjoys singing all styles of song from medieval motets through to contemporary pop and everything in-between.

What makes SHCC special and highly popular with members and local audiences is their desire to entertain the audience through direct engagement by performing from memory, predominantly unconducted, and using the performance space to create different sensory experiences for the audience.

The choir has achieved results at many competitions with wins at Cheltenham, Bournemouth, Mrs Sunderland Music Festival in Huddersfield, Portsmouth, a second place at the Manchester Amateur Choral Competition, two second place prizes at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod and a gold diploma at the Leonardo di Vinci International Virtual Choir Competition. The choir’s proudest achievement was becoming the UK Adult Choir of the Year in 2012.
