Autumn Concert: Cotswold Male & The Innsworth Military Wives Choirs
Come and hear two of Gloucestershire’s most popular choirs in a joint concert at St. Matthew’s Church, Cheltenham, on Saturday 24th October 2026 at 7.00 pm. The celebrated Cotswold Male Voice choir, now its 77th year, are delighted to be singing again with the Innsworth Military Wives Choir. Special guest will be the talented young soloist, Harriet Perfect.
In a full evening of music and song, there will be something for everyone, no matter what your taste in music.
The Cotswold Male Voice Choir return to St. Matthew’s Church in Cheltenham for their Autumn Concert. The choir’s previous performances at St. Matthew’s have proved so popular that it has now become an annual event. Regular attendees can look forward to hearing choir favourites, but the choir’s eclectic mix of music is always changing, and some wonderful new songs have been added to its repertoire this year which the audience will thrill to.
Special guests will be The Innsworth Military Wives Choir, a group of ladies with a passion for music and singing. Their enthusiasm and beautiful harmonies have won them an ardent local following.
Guest soloist for the concert is Harriet Perfect, a talented young singer from The King’s School, Gloucester where she holds both academic and music scholarships. She was an inaugural Girl Chorister at Gloucester Cathedral and held the position of Head Chorister in her final year. During her tenure, Harriet took part in the Three Choirs Festival in all three cities, performed Mahler’s Third Symphony with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in Bridgewater Hall, travelled to Germany to sing with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and was a soloist on two BBC Radio 3 broadcasts.
