I have finished updating the Works Sung page with all the information sent to me about past works; flyers, programmes, videos and photos.

Please go and have a look and enjoy. See how Vox has grown over the years, from the small crew performing The Messiah in 2009, to the charismatic community choir* we are today.

*or so Harvey says.

The pdf of the corrected version of Dance ti thy Daddy and the link to the audio aids for Sumer is icumen in are now available on the password protected members page

Our performance last term was themed around the Foundling Hospital and ideas of childhood and loss.

Jan (who organises the rota) sent me this link, to an online article by a friend about her research into 1 forgotten foundling from the hospital.

Vox are an inquisitive and thoughtful bunch, and we both thought you would enjoy reading it.
