Welcome to the Clarkson Singers Welcome to the Clarkson Singers, a mixed Choir of about 35 adult singers, based in Wisbech, Capital of the Fens. The Clarkson Singers were founded in 1992 when the six remaining members of the Wisbech Male Voice Choir approached Bruce Wegg to lead a new mixed four-part choir in the town and utilise their talents. Thus former choirs Wisbech Male Voice Choir and Wisbech Choral Society merged. The betrothal was June, the happy union September 1992, when the name Clarkson Singers was chosen to commemorate the two closed choirs. The choir is named after Thomas Clarkson, the anti-slavery campaigner.
The singers repertoire is wide ranging and covers church music, madrigals, folk songs and songs from the shows. The Choir rehearses in the Long Room of the Octavia Hill Birthplace Museum on the South Brink, Wisbech and meets at 7.15 p.m. on Tuesday nights during term time. The Choir is currently on Summer break until 2 September 2008 We continue to welcome new singers of all voices, particularly tenors and basses, so if you have an interest on choir singing and are a competent singer able to hold a tune, please come along or if during summer break contact the Secretary....
