The Three Spires Singers are recognised as one of the best choirs in the southwest. Now a 100-strong auditioned group of keen musicians, the choir was originally formed in 1981 by Richard Hickox for the inauguration of the Three Spires Festival. They have performed with a number of national orchestras and ensembles, and made several broadcasts for BBC Radio 3. They set up their own orchestra of local instrumentalists in 1990.

Concerts

The choir gives around four concerts a year, usually in Truro Cathedral. The repertoire spans some 400 years and includes all the major choral works in addition to rarely performed or commissioned pieces. The Three Spires Orchestra, consisting of many of the finest players in the southwest, usually accompanies the choir.

Workshops

Three Spires Singers is committed to education and organizes occasional workshops to explore some of the most famous repertoire works in the run-up to its performances. Eminent local musicians have led sessions on works such as Monteverdi’s Vespers and Verdi’s Requiem looking at the composers, historical context and the music itself.
