Antiphon

Hexham and the Tyne Valley

Antiphon grew out of a few singers meeting to sing early church music. Repertoire has included the Tallis and White Lamentations, masses by Josquin, Dufay and Palestrina and Victoria's Requiem as well as a wealth of motets and anthems by composers of the English and continental Renaissance.

We are a sociable bunch of around 20 members and although we are not recruiting we are always pleased to hear from good singers who share a love of early music and can sight sing well and hold a part. We practise on a Tuesday night in St John Lee church hall which is about 3 miles outside Hexham and our conductor is John Roper.

Hexham Orpheus Choir

Hexham

The Hexham Orpheus Choir performs 2 major concerts each season, plus additional smaller works through the year. We operate a no audition policy, providing a platform for people from various musical backgrounds to come together and perform a wide variety of music from Renaissance to contemporary sources.

Many choir members also belong to other choirs in the area, with some performing as soloists in their own right. Our conductor, Glenn Davis also leads the Priory Singers, Tynemouth, enabling us to join forces and perform larger choral works from time to time. The choir has an active social calendar, and new members are always made very welcome. Details on joining the choir and forthcoming concerts can be found on our website.

Rehearsals are every Wednesday, 7.30 - 9.30pm during School Term at St Joseph's School, Highford Lane, Hexham.
