Our choral society rehearsals start this coming Tuesday at 7pm in the Senior Hall! Start 2020 by joining us for this fantastic opportunity to sing in a choir!

Singing in a choir brings energy and a heart to a community. It lowers stress levels, brings greater focus and resilience in work life - it transforms lives! Try it - join a choir for 2020! @DowneHouseMusic #joinachoir

So so special. Thank you to our Year 6 choir for well and truly helping me get into the festive spirit.

Lovely comments from the judges for our Year 6 choir. “Phenomenal concentration”, “wonderful smiles, it’s infectious”, “great actions”, “quality singing, performing at a high level”.

Honoured that the DHS chapel choir are featured on the Royal School of Church Music ‘advent calendar’ on their website. We are Day 3! https://t.co/qzBDAoGz6i
