St Giles Consort
Based in the village of Chalfont St Giles in Buckinghamshire, the St Giles Consort draws on experienced choral singers who either live in or close by the village or have a strong connection to music-making in and around the county.
The chamber choir, directed by Julian Parkin-Haig, specialises in music composed during the High Renaissance, Tudor, Jacobean and Baroque eras, without neglecting music composed since then.
We have performed a wide range of music (see the programmes of our previous concerts) since our foundation in 2016, for the most part in the Parish Church of the village but also in London and Abingdon. In Summer 2022 we  collaborated with Milton's Cottage in the village to perform settings of John Milton's works and works by his father.  We also sang at the Buckinghamshire Council Memorial Service for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at St Mary's Church Aylesbury on 17th September, 2022. Our most recent venture has been a short visit to Florence (see below).

Summer Concert 

As we celebrate the 400th anniversaries of two of England's greatest composers, the Consort offers the opportunity to hear some of their best a cappella music, including and alongside anthems performed at coronations from 1603 to 2023
Tickets £15 (in full time education £5, under 12s free)
Consort in Florence
We have just completed a hugely successful visit to Florence, where  we sang masses (in a liturgical setting)in the Basilica of Santo Spirito and the church of San Felice in Piazza, a concert of English music at Santa Trinita, and ended with a reprise of our most recent Reflection for Holy Week in the wonderful Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.
