Fairhaven Singers

The Fairhaven Singers was founded in 1980, under the patronage of Lord Fairhaven of Anglesey Abbey, and is conducted by Ralph Woodward. The choir, a mixed ensemble of approximately 48 amateur singers, performs choral repertoire from the 15th century to the present. Among the major works it has performed are Bach's St John Passion, Mozart's Requiem, Brahms' Requiem, and James MacMillan's Seven Last Words from the Cross. It regularly commissions and premieres new works, most recently Will Todd's Requiem (2009) and Bob Chilcott's Ave Maria (2010).
