Past Concerts
CHIME has a reputation for the volume of material the choristers learn and the high standard of their performances. Historically, the choir conducts its own concert twice annually. The mid-year concert is often themed, with the Christmas Concert being a more traditional, family-orientated concert. The following is indicative of the breadth of material performed.
