The Inspiring Sound of the Renaissance Singers
About us
Founded by Reg Bertin in the early 1970s with just 8 singers, we have specialised in unaccompanied multi-part harmony and became established as one of the leading choirs in Sussex and have always been in great demand.
Our repertoire covers a complete range of styles including plainsong & chant, motets, madrigals, folk songs throughout the ages, anthems and modern choral pieces.
When Reg retired, his place was taken by Shirley Barrell, who sang Contralto under Reg's baton and, under her direction, the group has grown to 15 singers,
After many years, Shirley sadly passed away and we are now under the direction of Paul Collins, who takes us to new heights and beyond.
