If you would like
to join us you will be very welcome. There are no auditions and
we meet each Monday at 7:30 pm during term time in St Leonard's
Church, Tooting Bec Gardens. Upcoming concerts can be found here.
We are Streatham's oldest choir.
Since its foundation last Century in 1921, the Society has entertained
local people with high quality orchestral and choral music, first,
as the Streatham Philharmonic Society, and latterly as the Streatham
Choral Society. In its first incarnation the Society sang with
its own orchestra.
In the 1960s we became an ILEA supported evening class but when responsibility
for education was passed to each London Borough, our members decided to
re-launch the choir as a self-governing organisation relying on subscriptions
and income from concerts. We receive no grants or sponsorship and are completely
self-financing.
Because of population changes, many of our members now no longer live in
Streatham but nearly all of them have either lived in the borough some time
in their lives, married here or formed other lasting connections with the
area that makes singing with us special to them. Our aim is to continue
to be the premier amateur choir in Streatham and to provide high quality
music for the enjoyment of those people from all over South London and beyond,
who like to sing or enjoy equally the pleasure of listening.
