Welcome

Divertimento is a group of twenty or so singers. The number varies from time to time but the one thing which never changes is our passion for singing and all things vocal.

Our programmes are mainly made up of unaccompanied pieces in almost any style you can think of. We love sacred and secular music, from the Renaissance right through to the present day, and from all around the world. We sing in English and various European languages, as well as fa la la and doo be doo. We've even had the odd go at a couple of African languages. And Welsh.

We do also include longer works from time to time, accompanied by piano, organ and occasionally by a small orchestra. And we have many very talented musicians within the group who treat us and our audiences to some very special performances on flute, clarinet, recorder, saxophone, guitar, harpsichord, violin, viola, double bass, kazoo ...

We're sure you've got the idea. We simply love music and we always hope that this comes across in our performances. Come along to one and let us know what you think.
