Wyncantores is a Chamber Choir that formed in 1970 as an informal Madrigal
Group.Since that time they have grown in size to about 25 singers. While
their open-air concerts of Madrigals and Part Songs at Stourhead and Kingston
Lacey remain a regular and popular feature of their calendar they also
give concerts throughout the year in local Churches to support charitable
fund-raising events. They have also supported other local performances
including Menotti`s "Amahl and the Night Visitors",Britten`s "St.Nicholas"
and Orff`s "Carmina Burana".
The Choir also organises Study Weekends to which a visiting conductor
is invited to take part.These usually take place during the first weekend
in September and some of the Conductors who have already taken part are
Geoffrey Mitchell,David Laurence and Stephen Wilkinson.
