Sponsalia Choir

Whilst we have an excellent knowledge of traditional sacred music, we welcome the opportunity to embark on new compositions from contemporary composers. We are always keen to try new pieces, so if you have a special piece of music in mind for your occasion, call us.

Sponsalia

Sponsalia whose Latin name is the word for betrothal, was established in 1998, specialising in singing for the happy event of marriage, for both church wedding services, and civil ceremonies. They are highly praised for providing a unique musical quality to a memorable occasion.

Some of our music

International Choral Festival

Sponsalia returned in 2014 from a very successful tour in June representing Epsom and Ewell at the Third International Choral Festival held in Uberlingen, Germany. They performed in several concerts alongside 5 local choirs and 3 other visiting choirs from Twinned Towns. Sponsalia were delighted to be accompanied by Cllr Judith Glover on behalf of the Mayor and Epsom and Ewell Borough Council, who extended the formal invitation to choirs to reconvene in Epsom for the fourth festival in 2016. The event continues to build strong links through choral singing and promote Twinning.

Major Performances

Sponsalia’s recent engagements included weddings, participation in the Second International Twin-towns Choral Festival, hosted by Watermael-Boitsfort, Belgium, held over 3 days in May 2012, and performance with other local choirs at ‘Epsom In Harmony’ a Concert for the Borough’s 75th Anniversary in September 2012 at the Duchess Stand, Epsom Downs Racecourse.

Experience

As a group of experienced semi-professional singers, Sponsalia are frequently invited to work with church choirs experiencing difficulty in supporting wedding services, and also invited to support chamber concerts.
