Easingwold has a choral tradidtion that stretches back over a hundred years. It has changed its name and repetoire often during this period as the organisation of a particular period either developed or went through a process of change. Its first president, and founder, Mrs. Catherine Love, served in this capacity from 1903 to 1928. The current president is Lynne Dawson. Over its long history it has had ten musical directors/conductors, the longest serving in this capacity being Mr. Alfred Mattinson Wilson (Gerry) from 1944 to 1968. The current organisation has for twelve years been a member of the national body Making Music. Its membership levels range between forty and sixty men and women singing in 4/8 part harmony and have been managed over the last ten years by Dr. Roger Tebbet, its current Musical Director/Conductor. The Easingwold Singers perform two concerts per season, one at Christmas and the other in May. Its recent repertoire ranges from Bach to Vivaldi. The aim of the singers is to provide local audiences with good choral music. The choir is grateful for the continued support of patrons and sponsors. New members are always welcome.
