We are always happy to hear from experienced singers who love to perform unaccompanied music.
"i want to find out more about future concerts."
‘Komm süsse Tod’, the Durham Singers’ concert for Easter 2025, will take place on Saturday 12 April at St Cuthbert’s Chapel, Ushaw at 7.30pm.
The programme commences with music on the theme of ‘Come sweet death’ by J. S. Bach, Lobo, Neustedt, Poulenc, Shaw and Smyth. In the second half of the concert, we are excited to be performing the northern première of The Crucifixion by Tom Edney, our music director. His work, for mezzo-soprano, baritone, chorus and organ, is based on Stainer’s famous Crucifixion. It contains hymns employing original words by Mother Carrie Thompson.
Please join us in exploring different reflections for the Lenten period.

We are a high-standard amateur chamber choir of about 40 singers, who perform concerts in and around Durham City, with a repertoire that ranges from the great polyphonic works of the Renaissance through to exciting contemporary music.
We are a self-funded charity, benefitting from the support of patrons, charitable trusts and other funding bodies.
