About Teddington Choral Society
Founded in 1951 by Lisette Brooks, Teddington Choral Society has had only seven Musical Directors in its more than 60 years.
Prestigious venues the choir has performed at include the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, Alexandra Palace, and other centres outside of London.
Closer to home the choir has sung at Twickenham's Kneller Hall with the Band of the Royal Military School of Music and over in Richmond at Kew Gardens.
Distinguished batons Sir Malcolm Sargent, Sir Adrian Boult, Sir Yehudi Menuhin and Vilem Tausky have all helmed the choir.
Other historical highlights include performing the world première of Geoffrey Bowyer's A Pilgrim's Requiem, with Cantanti Camerati and the Teddington Symphonia.
Singers from TCS have also made it to the silver screen as part of the choirs for Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and The Theory of Everything.
From 2015 to 2017 the choir offered workshops on performance and presentation skills and also offered 1:1 singing lessons.
