THE CHOIR
The "Callington Singers" is a community choir in East Cornwall with a particular interest in church music. Founded in 1983, by Musical Director Graham Williams, we sing in churches and elsewhere locally and we also sing in some of the most prestigious church venues at home and abroad. Some examples are shown on the UK and Overseas Venues pages. This website tells The Callington Singers' story.
CORNISH GORSEDH AWARD
The Callington Singers received a Cornwhylen Cross Award at the September 2011 Cornish Gorsedh for musical performances which include a religious element. The citation read "From their inaugural meeting in St Mary's Church, Callington in 1983 the singers have become well known beyond the South East, venturing over the Tamar, the Irish Sea and the Channel, singing in some of the world's most famous cathedrals. The choir has enhanced Cornwall's status as a Celtic nation with music in its heart".
NEW MEMBERS
We would be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to join us and is able to make a regular commitment to the choir. New members are not required to audition and it is not necessary for them to be able to read music. Rehearsals are normally held between 7.30 and 9.30 on Thursday evenings at Callington Primary School.
