The Simon Langton Grammar School For Boys Chamber Choir - who are from Canterbury - are returning to the Island for the fourth consecutive year in December for a short tour of three festive music concerts.

The choir is a soprano, alto, tenor and bass ensemble, consisting of approximately fifteen confident singets and sight readers of music. The sight reading requirement is necessary due to very limited rehearsal time of twenty five minutes per week.

The boys like to perform an eclectic mix of music,and they perform regularly in school concerts, and annually in School Carol and Commendation services held in Canterbury Cathedral. They have also performed in concerts and competitions at a variety of venues around Kent. The choir are often asked to perform challenging GCSE and 'A'level compositions written by their fellow students.

The choir is conducted by Emily Temel (nee Renshaw). Emily is very well known in classical music circles on the Island,both as a solosinger and as a member of the Orpheus Singers. She was a pupil at Cowes High School before going on to study music at Canterbury Christ Church University.

There will be a retiring collection at the end of the concert for church funds.
