St. Matthew’s Church Saturday 21st June 2025 7.30pm
Soprano and Male Voices in Concert
The celebrated Cotswold Male Voice Choir perform their first concert in Cheltenham this year with a return to St. Matthew's Church, opposite Cheltenham Library, on Saturday 21st June. The ever popular “Cotswolds” are now in their 76th year and have a deservedly high reputation for entertaining audiences with a wide repertoire of songs that will thrill all ages. There’s nothing quite like the soaring sound of a male choir singing classic hymns like Morte Criste or Calon Lan to stir your soul or the sweet harmonies of a love song like “Let It Be Me” or “Spanish Eyes”.
Holly Seward - Soloist
Joining them will be Cheltenham's Holly Seward. Holly began training as a soprano aged 15, later graduating from the University of Chichester with a degree in Music Performance. During her time at Chichester, she was a member of the prestigious University Chamber Choir performing in numerous concerts in a variety of venues including Chichester and Arundel Cathedrals, Birmingham Symphony Hall and St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. Now based back in Cheltenham, she is a regular guest soloist with Cheltenham Minster Singers and the Wide Valley Singers. She will be accompanied, as usual, by Paul Collacott.
James Willshire – Music Director
The choir will be conducted by James Willshire in his first public concert in Cheltenham since taking over as Music Director in January 2025.
