GAUDEAMUS

Gaudeamus is a chamber choir of about 28 voices, based in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.  Since we were founded in 1988 we have grown from strength to strength and have developed a reputation as one of the elite choirs of Essex.  We sing a wide range of music, from the middle ages to the present day, unaccompanied and accompanied by piano, organ or orchestra, but we are particularly noted for our unaccompanied a cappella singing, be that Byrd, Bach, Stanford, or Cole Porter.  You can hear some of our music here.  In our local area we perform at many churches including St Mary’s Prittlewell in Southend, Highlands Methodist Church, St Clements in Leigh-on-Sea, and Barling, and on a lighter note, outdoor concerts at Southend Bandstage.  Further afield we have gone on many well-received international concert tours.

Remembering Sir David Amess M.P.

ST: He Built This City

Before his untimely death in 2021, Sir David was our Patron and a familiar face at our concerts.  On February 13th 2022 we were part of a wonderful gala celebration of music and the arts held in his memory at the Cliffs Pavilion and entitled  ‘He built this City’.  Headlining acts included Lee Mead and The Music Man Project.  It was great to see hundreds of performers coming together and showcasing the cities’ amazing musical talents.  This clip gives a taste of the wonderful atmosphere.  Sir David would have loved it.  All proceeds went to his 5 favourite charities.

“The choir had crisp, incisive diction, produced a range of vocal colour, and their faithful attention to dynamic markings was impressive.  You would need to go quite a long way to hear finer a cappella singing in Essex.”
