Praised often for our versatility and musicality, SWCS are always happy to hear from members of the audience, whether in Saffron Hall after a concert or on social media - sometimes not even before the end! The professional soloists who sing with us, equally, let us know how we do - why not read some of their comments below?
“I really enjoyed myself and thought the choir sounded fantastic in such challenging music!”
Carris Jones
Alto Soloist – Bach Magnificat - Handel Dixit Dominus
"The SWCS sang with great verve and clarity in two of the most difficult Baroque choral pieces. It was lovely to hear a choir sing with such passion for detail under the calm and fluid baton of Janet Wheeler... "
Helen-Jane Howells
Soprano Soloist – Bach Magnificat - Handel Dixit Dominus
My wife and I wanted to thank you for putting on such a wonderful performance. We did not know what to expect and were duly impressed by the scintillating performance.

It was a privilege to sing with such a wonderful choral society, and in such a stunning new venue as the Saffron Hall. Saffron Walden can be proud to have such a musical, friendly and experienced choral society.

What an occasion! No one will ever forget the evening nor the spectacular performance of all on the stage.
