Easingwold
has a choral tradition that stretches back over a hundred years. It has
changed its name and repertoire 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 fifteen 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
choir is grateful for the continued support of patrons and sponsors.
