About Dart Festival Chorus

Dart Festival Chorus was established in 2011 as the Dart Music Festival's very own choir. It is dedicated to supporting the aims of the festival by encouraging people to participate in and enjoy choral music, whether as singers or as members of the audience. Members are drawn from choirs across South Devon. The Dart Festival Chorus is a well established and integral part of the music festival, and we hope it will continue to be so for many years to come.

Dart Festival Chorus presents: Songs of Film and TV! 

The 2025 Dart Festival Chorus concert will be held on Sunday 18 May in St Saviour's Church, Dartmouth.

We are delighted that Simon Dunbavand will continue as Chair/Organiser of the Dart Festival Chorus. The choir is in very safe and capable hands. Not only is Simon an accomplished organist and accompanist but also a brilliant chorus master. We are thrilled to be singing with DFC under his leadership. 

We are also very pleased to say that James Davey has agreed once again to be the Musical Director and Ian Curror will be returning as the Accompanist for the 2025 Dart Festival Chorus concert.

An initial 29 March rehearsal will be held for sheet music collection and read-through. Ian and Simon will lead a note learning rehearsal on 26 April. James will then lead a weekend of back-to-back rehearsals on 10 and 11 May before the performance on 18 May. See Rehearsal Info page for date, time and location details.

This year, we invite you on a cinematic musical journey with 'Songs of Film and TV' - a thrilling programme featuring choral masterpieces that have graced the big and small screen.

From the epic drama of Parry and Mozart to the timeless melodies of Rogers, Bernstein and Elton John, our selection spans genres and generations, evoking the magic of some of the world's most beloved films and television moments. Expect stirring harmonies, rousing choruses, and moments of pure nostalgia, all performed with passion and energy. 

 

Join us as we bring these iconic musical moments to life and transport the wonderful Dart Music Festival audience straight to the heart of the silver screen!
