The Singers

The St Giles Consort was founded in 2016. by Julian Parkin-Haig and  Cathy Langdale (Director of Music at the Parish Church in Chalfont St Giles)

The group is made up of experienced  choral singers who either live in Buckinghamshire or have a strong connection to the county or to the  village of Chalfont St Giles where they rehearse and often perform.

We would be interested to hear from local singers who would like to find out more about what we do.  For a typical concert, rehearsals take place during the day on the two Saturdays leading up to each concert.   Please contact Cathy Langdale
