Our concerts are often themed and we enjoy singing everything from Ave Maria to Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah! We include songs from the shows, pieces by Ivor Novello, music by George Gershwin and are particularly fond of performing the music of John Rutter.

Our afternoon performances include a varied programme, providing many opportunities for well-loved favourites during the sing-alongs!

We are particularly fortunate in having the support of our accompanist Philip Lloyd (pictured here with Conductor Pat Phillips).

Philip is not only an exceptional musician, but also composes for us periodically.

The Mayor's Charity Concert took place at St James' Church, Taunton, Somerset on Saturday 15th March.

This was a joint event with The New Horizon Singers performing alongside the Taunton Deane Male Voice Choir in aid of the Mayor of Taunton Deane's charities S.U.R.E. and N.S.P.C.C.

The audience, which included many other civic dignitaries from the surrounding Somerset area, were treated to another varied programme which included two joint pieces. The first was Mozart's 'Laudate Dominum' (our wonderful soloist was choir member Pat Moore - soprano) and the final piece of the evening was Borodin's 'Polovtzian Dances' from Prince Igor.

The concert was again hailed as another great success and we are delighted to report that yet another most enjoyable evening raised yet another Ł1,000!

If you were unlucky enough to have missed the concert, below is a copy of the evening's programme.

The New Horizon Singers gave their first major concert of the new 2007/8 season on 12th December 2007 again at St. James' Church, Taunton.

Joined yet again by the Mayor and Mayoress of Taunton Deane, Councillor Ken Hayward, his wife Mary plus Eric and Sonja Saffin (representatives of S.U.R.E.) our Christmas Concert was the first opportunity to showcase the now expanded choir (29 members). With yet another large and appreciative audience, the success of the evening was assured when we were joined by our guests, the Barbershop Quartet 'Streetwise'.

'Streetwise' consists of Nick Graves (bass), Kevin Coughlan (baritone), Richard Cox (lead) and Alan White (tenor) and have become the foremost 'a capella' quartet in the southwest. Performing two solo slots for us we were treated to a variety of pieces from their repertoire and we are hugely grateful for their contribution to this truly memorable and successful evening which culminated in our r aising the highest total for a Christmas Concert to date - Ł1,000!

The New Horizon Singers Summer Concert on 11th July was the last in the 2006/7 season and was performed at our usual venue of St. James' Church, Taunton. Although the 2007 Summer Concert was a little later in our calendar than previously, it was extremely well received and we were delighted to be able to welcome back Clym Stock-Williams as our guest soloist who again treated the almost capacity audience to a selection of cello and organ pieces.

Despite the unseasonal bad weather, the evening was a great success and culminated in the presentation of another cheque for Ł3,000 to S.U.R.E. A copy of the evening's programme is shown below.

As we move into a new season, special thanks must go to Jacki Pattenden who ran our series of Choral Workshops earlier in the spring of 2007. Funded by Awards4All we would very much like to thank Jacki for her expertise and enthusiasm whilst introducing new techniques to improve our overall performance skills. The workshops were not only good fun but proved to be a great success with the general public too and we were delighted to welcome so many new people as well as established supporters to many of the sessions.
