We’ve taken part in the Mid-Somerset Festival in Bath, Southampton Festival of Music and Drama as well as concerts and performances in Lymington, King Somborne and Winchester Cathedral.\u00a0\u00a0 However, the home venue for the choir is Romsey Abbey where we have our Christmas and summer concerts as well as taking part in other local joint concerts for the community.\n\nMany of these concerts were fund-raising events for a variety of the charities (Jane Scarth House, Naomi House Hospice, Oxfam, Cancer Research and the other local charities). Our own Christmas and summer concerts in the Abbey are hugely enjoyable and provide the main funding source for the running of the choirs.\n\nSince 2013 the RYC has gone on a summer tour and has performed in great venues such as the cathedrals in Barcelona (Sagrada Familia), Enniskillen, Cortona and Bayeux as well as open air concerts at the North American cemetery in Normandy, the sculpture park amphitheatre in Siena and the lakeside pavilion in Zell am See. The reports on previous tours can be found in the\u00a0Tour\u00a0Page<\/a>.\u00a0 In 2018 we went to The Netherlands and Belgium, staying outside Amsterdam and will be visiting Amersfoort, Amsterdam and Efterling before staying in Bruges and the singing at the Menin Gate, Ypres.\u00a0 In 2019 we are going on our tour of Transylvania visiting Sibiu, Turda, Sighisoara and Brasov.\n\nRomsey Youth Choir was formed in October 2010 and since then we have produced cup winning performances at Bath, Southampton, Portsmouth and Bournemouth Music festivals.\u00a0 We have performed with the South Wales Male Voice choir \u201cCor Meibion de Cymru\u201d,\u00a0Romsey Male Voice Choir, Romsey Concert Band as well as local solo performers. In 2018 we took part in Hampshire Music Service events in the Royal Albert Hall and the Anvil, Basingstoke – see our posts for more details.\n\nWe also have a thriving social agenda which includes theatre trips, ice skating, quiz evenings and an end of year BBQ.\n\n\"NAC<\/a>\n\n\n
