Concert tours

The Colla Voce Singers culminate their annual concert series with a tour abroad every 2 years and a retreat in the UK in other years. Performances around the year, along with generous donations and sponsorship, help fund these tours enabling the choir to promote the fine and very unique British choral tradition in some of the most beautiful buildings around the world.

Norwich 2006 I 21 - 22 October

In 2006 the choir will visit Norwich for a weekend in October where amongst other things it will perform at St Peter Mancroft Church as part of their music festival.

Tuscany 2005 I 23 - 29 August

Last summer, the choir were invited to sing in a number of venues in and around Tuscany. This proved to be extremely exciting due to the fact the choir had only been in existence for 3 months.

The choir arrived at Pisa airport and were then driven to the remote village, Casole d'Elsa, set amidst the breathtaking Tuscan hills. Not only were we charmed by the idealic surrounding countryside but also by our hosts at the Centro D'Arte Verrocchio, a centre hosting painting and sculpture courses.

The choir were asked to sing a series of concerts comprised of music by both English and Italian composers.
