Alan Vincent founded Kent Chamber Choir in 1983. With some six concerts a year we bring high quality choral singing to towns and villages throughout Kent, occasionally elsewhere in the UK and abroad. Drawing on membership of forty or so singers our repertoire ranges from simple miniatures to complex music for two or more choirs. We programme all kinds of sacred music from the 15th to the 21st centuries and often include a diverse mix of secular items. Although much of what we sing is unaccompanied, a large-scale work with orchestra is a regular feature. Many of our concerts are in support of local charities. Over the years we have raised thousands of pounds for good causes such as Kent Music Bursary Fund, and set up the Kath Topping Award for Vocal Studies which gave financial assistance to talented young singers between 2004 and 2024. After forty years of leading the choir, Alan retired from the post of Musical Director in 2023 and Daniel Gethin took on the role in January 2024 and is introducing the choir to new repertoire and ways of working.
KCC recording
A CD, containing twenty tracks and recorded over 2 days in June and September 2012 is available. It was the culmination of months of hard work by Alan Vincent and the choir, and shows the diversity of music for which the KCC is renowned.
