On 23rd March 2019 Ampthill Choral was joined by members of other local choirs for a performance of Handel’s Messiah at Ampthill Methodist Church. The combined choir numbered over 80 and gathered for an afternoon rehearsal under the direction of Karen Beer, with Justin Waters on the organ and, for the evening performance, soloists Alison Chambers (Soprano), Helen Rotchell (Alto), Derek Archer (Tenor) and Richard Cowling (Bass). The choirs will join forces again for another performance in 2020.
