Repertoire
Our repertoire is consistently varied, offering musical challenges to the singers as they have to move from one style to another throughout a programme, but also constantly giving our listeners new sound experiences.
The music covers many centuries, from the Medieval to the contemporary, with and without accompaniment, and in styles we range from 'classical' through folk, popular, jazz, madrigal and sacred. Serendipity: the choir is now commissioning local composers to write works specifically for us.

Chorister of the Month
For several years after graduating from uni, Rhonda was too busy being a wife, mother and physiotherapist to indulge much in her favourite hobby, although she was a founding member of the Manly Warringah Symphony Choir and a player in the Mackellar Theatrical Society.
Rhonda has lived permanently in the Highlands since 2001, has had fun playing various roles with the Highlands Theatre Group, and has finally settled into the soprano section of Serendipity. In her spare time, she is a mum of three and President of the CWA in Exeter.
