A Kinder Choir concert tends to have something for all tastes.  The repertoire list is extensive, and, with songs from Vivaldi to Amy Winehouse, there is plenty of variety!

A typical concert could start with classical or modern sacred pieces, 20th Century Art Song, then progress to the interval with national and international folk songs.  The second half of our programmes are usually of a lighter nature with songs from the shows, Broadway, pop and jazz.  Christmas programmes are full of favourite carols and Christmas songs.  Some examples of current or recent repertoire are as listed:
