About the choir
Formed in September 1991 with just 14 members, the Radcliffe Ladies’ Choir has grown to a membership of 55 ladies from around the county whose ages range from early-20s to mid-80s. Since the first public appearance at Cotgrave Parish Church in 1992, the choir has given concerts at many venues in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire for various charities and organisations and hold two popular annual concerts in Radcliffe-on-Trent each July and December.
Alex Patterson joined them as musical director in May 2010, and the choir has worked hard in extending their repertoire and developing their musicianship and performance skills with recent highlights involving the performance of major works from the choral repertory include Whitacre's Five Hebrew Love Songs, Fauré’s Requiem and Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols.
They have undergone several concert tours in the past few years: Penrhyndeudraeth and Beddgelert, Wales in 2012, Ely Cathedral and Aldeburgh Parish Church in 2015, Belfast Cathedral, First Presbyterian Church, Holywood, and Titanic Belfast in 2016. A tour to the North East of England is planned for 2017.
