Dore Male Voice Choir – about us

The Choir was formed in 1964 and have gained competition successes in many national music festivals, including Huddersfield, Morecambe, Blackpool and Eskdale. The Choir has sung at the prestigious Llangollen International Eisteddfod on six occasions. Performances have also included concerts in York Minster and the Albert Hall. The Choir has performed on radio and TV and has recently produced a new CD.

Overseas concert tours have included visits to Germany, Austria, Paris, Amsterdam, Cyprus and Jersey. We’ve also been to Bruges, singing in the cathedral, and Ghent, with an invitation to sing at the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate, Ypres.

In 2007 the Choir went on tour to the Rhineland, with four events, including a concert in Koblenz and a sing in Cologne cathedral. In 2009 we went on tour to Cyprus, giving three concerts.

We’re proud to have contributed many thousands of pounds to charity over the years, from the money we’ve raised from concerts, donations and CD sales.

We often sing with Wigston Male Voice Choir, our friends for many years, and the two choirs hold an annual reunion dinner.

Our membership has increased significantly over the past three years.
