Welcome to the website of the Cecilia International Choir.
Founded in 1975, we are one of the longest established
English speaking mixed voice choirs in the area of South Holland.
Until recently we were known as the British Choir. We are always
looking for new members - so find out more in this website and then
come and try us out.
Our concert schedule is available on this webiste and is regularly
updated, together with information about how to find out more and
book tickets. We are sure you will enjoy our performances.
Who we are..
We are a mixed group of four voices - Soprano, Alto,
Tenor and Bass. We have around 80 members. We rehearse in
English but welcome all nationalities.
We don't run auditions, and it is not even necessary to read
music. We rehearse each Thursday evening in the Boerderij, behind the
British School senior campus in Voorschoten, from 1945 until 2200
hrs. We perform concerts four times per year.
Meet Malcolm Davies, our Conductor.
