Cotswold Male Voice Choir

Summer Concert

St. Matthew’s Church Saturday 21st June 2025 7.30pm

Soprano and Male Voices in Concert

The celebrated Cotswold Male Voice Choir perform their first concert in Cheltenham this year with a return to St. Matthew's Church, opposite Cheltenham Library, on Saturday 21st June. The ever popular “Cotswolds” are now in their 76th year and have a deservedly high reputation for entertaining audiences with a wide repertoire of songs that will thrill all ages. There’s nothing quite like the soaring sound of a male choir singing classic hymns like Morte Criste or Calon Lan to stir your soul or the sweet harmonies of a love song like “Let It Be Me” or “Spanish Eyes”.

Holly Seward - Soloist

Joining them will be Cheltenham's Holly Seward. Holly began training as a soprano aged 15, later graduating from the University of Chichester with a degree in Music Performance. During her time at Chichester, she was a member of the prestigious University Chamber Choir performing in numerous concerts in a variety of venues including Chichester and Arundel Cathedrals, Birmingham Symphony Hall and St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. Now based back in Cheltenham, she is a regular guest soloist with Cheltenham Minster Singers and the Wide Valley Singers. She will be accompanied, as usual, by Paul Collacott.

Music Director - James Willshire

The choir will be conducted by James Willshire in his first public concert in Cheltenham since taking over as Music Director in January.
