An image and message from a recent performance in Presteigne with Central England Camerata.

Central England Camerata had a very enjoyable time accompanying Kington Choral Society under the ever dynamic baton of Simon Harper last night in Presteigne. This was our first outing together and we really enjoyed it! Thanks to the choir for being such excellent hosts. We hope to work with you again soon

Performances we’ve currently got planned

2026 plans are well in hand for an exciting series of anthology programmes which will give singers and audience alike the chance to experience some of the best of choral writing past and present.
