The Dulwich Prep Choral Society is drawn from parents, staff and friends of the Prep. There are no auditions, all are welcome and the society can number anything between 80 and 100. An ability to read, or at least follow, music is an advantage but not essential.
Rehearsals take place on Wednesday evenings in the Music Department, commencing at 7.45pm, during the second half of the autumn term and the whole of the spring term - usually culminating in a choral festival in March. The Choral Society is joined by the boys’ choirs for major events but also occasionally holds its own summer social functions where a lighter repertoire is enjoyed. Recent major works with the boys include :
The Armed Man – Jenkins |
Haydn – Nelson Mass |
Magnificat – Rutter |
Requiem – Chilcott |
Stabat Mater – Jenkins |
Hear my Prayer – Mendelssohn |
Te Deum – Stanford |
Magnificat – Pergolesi |
