About Us
The Wessex Singers is a Chamber Choir of about 40 singers, founded by its musical director Christopher Dowie in 1979. This Wimborne choir is promoted by Wimborne Music Society and usually gives three main concerts a year, sometimes with Wimborne Minster Chamber Orchestra, as well as singing the occasional Minster service in the absence of the Minster Choir.
The choir regularly premieres new choral works, as well as performing from a wide repertoire of established works.
