The City of Canterbury Chamber Choir's new season kicked off with a wonderful concert in Sandwich as part of the 2009 Canterbury Festival. We continue with two concerts in Canterbury - at St Edmund's School Chapel on Sunday 21 March 2010 and at St Peter's Methodist Church on Sunday 18 July 2010. The choir is also through to the final of BBC Radio Kent - Rotary Top Choir Kent Competition - to be held at the Shirley Hall, Canterbury on Saturday 27th March - full details from Top Choir Kent.

The upper voices of the choir will form the chorus for a performance of Holst's Opera 'Savitri' on Sunday 30 May, to be held at the English Music Festival in Oxfordshire. Soloists include David Wilson Johnson with Nova Opera under George Vass.

In February 2009, the choir completed a third CD of music by Cecilia McDowall for the Dutton label in the wonderful acoustic of St Jude-on-the-Hill in Hampstead Garden Suburb, North London. The choir recorded Cecilia's Laudate and Five Seasons with Orchestra Nova and Katherine Allen (mezzo-soprano). Other works on the CD, recorded in February 2008 at Sandwich Parish Church, include A Canterbury Mass, the carol Now May we Singen and the Introit I have done what was mine to do. The CD has attracted wide critical acclaim.
