The Big Sing

Target achieved!

Thanks to you, we raised the sum of £6,000 on the day,
which is more than enough to fund the new playground at the Milton children’s hospice.
We can now provide some musical toys to 
go there – some crash cymbals, giant chimes and tubano drums.
Imagine how much enjoyment the children will have with these musical toys. 

About 350 singers and 150 audience members all contributed to this magnificent effort.
A huge Thank You to all for your generous donations.

The Big Sing was held on Saturday 14 January 2012 in Great St Mary's Church, Cambridge
in aid of East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH).
We sang music to welcome in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Year,
with Corona Brass, Paul Bryan (organ), four conductors,
New Cambridge Singers, children from Milton Primary School,
and of course Yourselves, all contributing to this magnificent musical extravaganza.

Full details of the rest of our forthcoming concerts are available on this site. Also you will find the latest news about the choir, general information about us, a summary of our repertoire, and details of works in our music library available on loan to other choirs. We rehearse on a Wednesday from 7.30pm to 9.45pm in Cambridge, in Churchill College, off Storey's Way. Membership is open to experienced singers of all ages by audition.

With around thirty-two voices, NCS aspires to the highest possible standards of performance in Baroque and contemporary British music, while also exploring a broad range of music from other periods and countries to produce varied and attractive programmes. NCS performs mainly in Cambridge and the surrounding region, rehearsing in Cambridge during school terms. It is distinctive among choirs of its size and quality for its policies of commissioning new works and performing with instrumental ensembles of appropriate size and playing style in the major works of Bach and his contemporaries.

We occasionally have vacancies for new members, but currently we have none. However, interested singers may like to send details of their singing experience to our membership secretary Philippa Harris (whose contact details are here) for consideration as and when vacancies arise.
