About the Choir
The Hills Singers chamber choir was formed in 1993 and has subsequently given 3 or 4 concerts every year. The choir is based in Malvern, but its 20 or so singers are drawn from a wide radius including Cheltenham and Worcester. The Musical Director is Carol Green, a music teacher and flautist, who trained as a choral conductor through the national "Sing for Pleasure" organisation, with which she is actively involved.
The choir's repertoire is extremely broad, consisting largely of unaccompanied works, but occasionally including pieces with piano, organ or orchestral accompaniment. It spans the centuries, from mediaeval church music to 21st century arrangements of popular songs. It spans the globe, from European music down the ages to modern arrangements of traditional African chants. And it covers a considerable range of languages along the way - even Icelandic!
