Coro Amici is no stranger to the stage. From Yorkshire to Budapest, we’ve shared music in some truly unforgettable places. In 2026, we had a fresh start with a more regular pattern of projects, singing under the direction of Musical Director Jane Hobson. Our first concert featured the amazing Missa Latina – a Latin mass blending Caribbean rhythms, Latin jazz and Argentinian Tango and we were the first choir to perform this in the North of England. We were accompanied by Kibitz a piece Klezmer band and loved singing in the impressive Marble Saloon at Wentworth Woodhouse.

Future plans for 2026 include a concert focusing on John Rutter’s music, a summer social, a fun singing weekend away in Newcastle and other exciting collaborations for 2027 yet to be announced.

Our year is shaped around projects: from January to May we enjoy regular rehearsals that lead to concerts in wonderful venues. In the summer we come together for a relaxed, sociable gathering, and from September we dive back in with flexible plans that wrap up before the Christmas bustle begins. With exciting collaborations and a repertoire that blends classical favourites with jazz, folk, and fresh contemporary twists, Coro Amici really does have something for everyone!
