Epping Chorus
Formerly Epping Church Choirs Association (ECCA)
Almost 50 years ago a choir was formed to bring local church choirs together - it was called Epping Church Choirs Association, (ECCA for short). It quickly gained a strong reputation and sings a wide variety of music both sacred and secular (click here to see a list of our ‘Past Performances’ ). The choir performs three concerts a year and also takes part in the St John’s Christmas Tree Festival as well as supporting events in the town.
In order to broaden the appeal of the choir it was recently decided to change the name to Epping Chorus; it remains an ecumenical choir, open to all, and we are hoping the new name will be more appealing both to potential new singers as well as to those who enjoy attending concerts.
Entry to all concerts is free so why not come and hear us and, if you’re interested in joining the choir, please email info@eppingchorus.org for more information.
The choir is non-auditioned but the Director of Music, Simon Winters, may wish to carry out a brief voice test. The choir currently has around 35 members and rehearses on Friday evenings in the Catholic Church Hall in Epping.
FUTURE CONCERTS
Due to Covid 19, we are very sorry that we are unable to meet to rehearse or to perform at the moment. The programme for the concert scheduled for 4th July will be postponed until next summer.
We sincerely hope that we will be able to perform in January 2021 and look forward to seeing you all then. In the meantime, the choir sends its best wishes to everyone at this difficult time.
