Choir2000 are a large amateur choir based in Histon, originally founded for one concert to celebrate the Millennium- but still going strong 24 years later!
We are led by our amazing Musical Director Chloë Allison and will be joined by the wonderful Choir2000 orchestra, accompanist Clare Bullimore and fabulous soloists:
Soprano: Anna-Luise Wagner
Tenor: Peter Weatherley
Bass: Peter Norris
The Pilgrims who journeyed to Chaucer’s Canterbury in 1380 show us the best and the worst in ourselves and those around us, inviting us to laugh, to reflect and to cherish community.
Dyson’s musical poems are equally vivid, in some places boisterous, some humorous, some moving. Written for performance in 1930, they reflect Dyson’s rejection of the extremes of musical modernism, in favour of tuneful, accessible music, designed for performance by Choral Societies, who adopted the piece with great enthusiasm. Choir 2000 are looking forward to following in their footsteps.

more about Choir 2000
Choir2000 began (as the name suggests!) in the Year 2000 as a one off coming together of singers to celebrate the new millenium. Everyone enjoyed it so much that the choir decided to continue and has gone from strength to strength ever since.
25 years on, Choir2000 now numbers around 100 regular singers, performing serious choral works as well as light hearted pieces under its brilliant and dynamic Musical Director Chloe Allison. The choir is known as one of the best and friendliest non-auditioning choirs in the Cambridge area.
