About Three Spires Singers

Recognised as one of the best choirs in the southwest, Three Spires Singers is a 100-strong auditioned choir giving around four concerts a year, usually in Truro Cathedral or Hall for Cornwall.

The choir was founded in 1981 and two years ago celebrated its 25th anniversary with a memorable performance of the first work the Singers ever performed, Brahms' German Requiem.

Christopher Gray, having succeeded Robert Sharpe as Organist and Master of the Choristers at Truro Cathedral and Musical Director of Three Spires Singers has taken over the baton with ambitious plans. His lively and challenging rehearsal techniques are attracting new choir members and his plans to expand the choir and raise standards generally are already well under way.

Christopher will continue the development of the choir who have sung music spanning almost four hundred years, from Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers to Paul Spicer's Easter Oratorio, written in 1999. The Singers have performed virtually all the major choral repertoire as well as many lesser known works, and have commissioned new works by David Briggs and Paul Comeau.

The choir has performed with a number of national orchestras and ensembles as well as its own Three Spires Orchestra, and several performances have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
