Although originally started in the first half of the 20th century, the choir in its present form was formed in 1952 as Brockham Christ Church Music Society, later taking its present name.

The choir itself consists of around 60-70 singers who come mainly from the Brockham and Dorking areas (though a number come from further afield). We don't hold auditions, but we aim for a high standard. We warmly welcome new members to the choir, and encourage anyone with an interest in choral singing to contact us. Whilst previous choral experience is valuable, a love of singing and a desire to learn are more important. Also, new members would find it very useful to have either the ability to read music, or a good ear!

We aim to be a friendly and welcoming choir, and we work hard to ensure we have an inclusive and well-supported social programme, including our Annual Dinner in February. Details of these are in our Members' area.

We rehearse in Powell Corderoy School, Longfield Road, Dorking RH4 3DF, on Tuesday evenings from September through to the following May, starting at 8.00 pm and finishing at 10.00 pm.

We give a number of concerts each year - family Christmas concerts, a major one in March, and a more informal concert in May or June, often including other local musicians. We also occasionally give a concert in November. These concerts are normally in St Martin's Church, Dorking, or another local church.

Every other year we embark on a tour abroad - in 2004 we went to Brittany, in 2006 we went to Ghent and gave three concerts, one with the local Cantabile choir, who came to the UK to join us for our May 2007 concert. In 2008 we visited The Hague.  In 2011 we stayed in the UK and visited Yorkshire, singing in Ripon Cathedral, Selby Abbey, Leeds Parish Church and York Minster, accompanied on each occasion by the Yorkshire Imperial Band. At each concert we held a collection for Help for Heroes, collecting £700 in total for the charity.

The choir is supported in its efforts by a number of Friends; details of these are on our Friends page.
