About South Holland Singers

The choir started in 1947, recruiting singers from the local operatic society and church choirs. The choir gave its first concert, a performance of Handel’s ‘Messiah’, in December of that year. Admission to the concert was by programme at a cost of 2/6d as they were not allowed to sell tickets for entrance to a place of worship.Over the years, highlights include singing at Lincoln Cathedral, the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London as well as most of the churches in the local area. In 1980 the choir formed a link with the Mozartchor of Speyer, Spalding’s twin town in Germany which led to over ten exchange visits. Under musical director Samantha Caroline Graper, the choir has maintained its roots in classical choral music, while broadening the repertoire to include folk and traditional music from around the world, musical theatre, as well as popular classics from contemporary composers.
