About the choir

Formed in September 1991 with just 14 members, the Radcliffe Ladies’ Choir has grown to a membership of 60 ladies from around the county whose ages range from mid-20s to late-80s. Since the first public appearance at Cotgrave Parish Church in 1992, the choir has given concerts at many venues across the region 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 including commissioning Canadian composer Sarah Quartel and performing major works from the choral repertory: Eric Whitacre’s Five Hewbrew Love Songs, Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem, and Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols.

​They have undergone several concert tours in the past few years: Ely & Aldeburgh in 2015, Belfast & Holywood, N. Ireland, in 2016, Newcastle & Durham in 2017, Cheltenham in 2018 with performances in Worcester Cathedral and Tewkesbury Abbey, and most recently: York in 2019, with performances in Selby Abbey and Ripon Cathedral.
