jubilee choir

The Jubilee Choir was founded by Ian Ledsham in 2002 to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Golden Jubilee. We perform a wide variety of choral music, from classical masses to modern pieces, sometimes accompanied by professional soloists and an orchestra or individual musicians .

We have twin aims - to entertain people and to have in the choir singers from each decade. We are particularly keen to encourage singers in the 16-40 age group.

Bursaries are available for young singers aged 15-18 in full time educatiion, in any voice part, who wish to participate in the choir and who will be given an opportunity to perform solo.

Ian Ledsham

Ian Ledsham, the inspirational leader and founder of the Jubilee Choir was tragically killed in a major road accident on 7th September 2005 in Ropley, Hampshire.

Ian was a most talented musician, an ex Cambridge organ scholar with a diverse range of musical interests, both religious and secular. We are grateful for the privilege of knowing him and learning from him, and miss him very much.

Our Director is now Ben Noithip, Head of Music at Lord Wandsworth College, Little Sutton.
