About Us
Wendover Singers was founded in 2020 by two friends Carol & Sue who were lovers of singing and had been involved in community projects for most of their lives.
​
They partnered with highly experienced Musical Director Jill Neenan, a passionate supporter of community choirs, and with funding from local organisations, Lionel Abel-Smith Trust and Wendover Parish Council, plus generous residents, Wendover Singers was born.
​
The Adults Choir started with 40+ members and despite a hiatus during the pandemic rapidly increased to full membership of 100 singers last year.
​
The Children’s Choir was piloted in autumn 2022 and now boasts more than 20 regular members.
We exist to boost our members’ wellbeing, joy, and sense of belonging, through a shared love of music and song.
We passionately believe in the power of singing in a group and the benefits this can bring, so Wendover Singers is open to everyone over the age of 7 years, regardless of circumstance or ability.
​
We believe there should be no cost barrier to singing, so seek grants and raise funds to keep our fees as low as possible.
​
We have members from all ranges of singing ability from the very experienced to the complete beginner. There are no auditions and members are not required to read music to join.
​
We sing songs from a variety of genres such as musical theatre, classical, choral, popular songs, rock primarily in 4 & 6-part harmony and some unison pieces.
