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?
The choir were strong: committed and passionate, and the orchestra played with gusto. It was a real pleasure to work with Janet too: she did magnificently.

Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the concert and how brilliantly the Choral Society came across - it was a wonderful occasion and you should all be very proud… we were!
Angela Reed & T Reed & Son
Programme Advertisers - Verdi Requiem
I thoroughly enjoyed singing in the hall and thought the choir and orchestra both rose magnificently to the occasion - we did Verdi proud!
Gaynor Keeble
Mezzo-soprano Soloist - Verdi Requiem
What a great night it was! One thing I can say straight away: Saffron Walden’s got a concert hall with excellent accoustics!
Ann-Helen Moen
Soprano Soloist - Verdi Requiem
"What a pleasure it was to take part in SWCS's performance of Elgar's Dream of Gerontius. Janet did an amazing job and I've never heard the choir sing so well. It was a hugely emotional and moving evening that I'll remember for a long time to come."
Diana Moore
Mezzo-Soprano Soloist - The Dream of Gerontius
