Beaconsfield
Public liability insurance of £1 million

The Wooburn Consort is a subgroup of the Wooburn Singers, a Beaconsfield-based chamber choir founded by Richard Hickox in 1967. We perform music from the Renaissance to the present day (from Thomas Tallis to Disney!) and are equally at home with sacred and secular music, either a cappella or with organ or piano accompaniment. If you already have specific music in mind for your event we are happy to accommodate your requests. Alternatively, if you would prefer more guidance in selecting music we would be pleased to work with you and suggest appropriate pieces based on your requirements and our experience. Although we are based in Beaconsfield we frequently perform further afield, and are accustomed to performing in a wide variety of venues. We can provide from 4 to 30 singers, and will tailor the size of the ensemble to suit the venue, the music and your budget.

Wooburn Consort's Reviews

From customers:

Thank you to all of your singers who were fabulous on Saturday, really leading the service, and I truly relished their Brahms, as did other guests.

Thank you so much for being a part of our service on Saturday. The choir sounded amazing - the Tallis was the perfect accompaniment for Roisin processing down the aisle, the Walton sounded effortless for quite a demanding unaccompanied piece, and the Rutter was a lovely, reflective moment to end communion. Thank you for all of your hard work to enhance our special day

We are also happy to lead congregational hymn singing - these are some of the hymns we have recently sung at events, but again we are happy to accommodate your requirements.
All my hope on God is founded
Amazing Grace
Be still, for the presence of the Lord
Be thou my vision
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Give me oil in my lamp
How great thou art
Lord of the dance
My song is love unknown
Tell out my soul
We can also provide Christmas carols, including but not limited to those listed below.
As with gladness men of old
Away in a manger
Deck the hall
Ding dong merrily on high
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Good King Wenceslas
Hark the herald angels sing
I saw three ships
In the bleak midwinter
It came upon the midnight clear
O come all ye faithful
O little one sweet
O little town of Bethlehem
Once in royal David's city
Past three o'clock
Silent night
The first nowell
Unto us is born a son
Up good Christen folk and listen
We three kings
We wish you a merry Christmas
