The 2007 Christmas concert 'Joy to the World' was held on Saturday, 8 December in Great Missenden Parish Church. It featured Mason’s 'Joy to the World' arranged by Rutter, Beethoven’s 'Mass in C, Op 86' and Ronald Corp 'Mary's Song'. This was the second ever performance of Mary’s Song, and the choir had the privilege of the composer taking one of their rehearsals. We were delighted that the concert was a sell-out .

The first rehearsal in 2008 was on Monday 7^th January, and the Spring Concert 'Springtime in a Country Church' will take place on Saturday, 26th April 2008 in Great Missenden Parish Church at 7.30pm. It will present works by Vaughan Williams, Poulenc, Faure and Kodaly.
