Welcome to the website of the Cecilia International Choir.
Founded in 1975, we are one of the longest established English speaking mixed voice choirs in the area of South Holland. Until recently we were known as the British Choir. We are always looking for new members - so find out more in this website and then come and try us out.
Our concert schedule is available on this webiste and is regularly updated, together with information about how to find out more and book tickets. We are sure you will enjoy our performances.
Who we are..
We are a mixed group of four voices - Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. We have around 80 members. We rehearse in English but welcome all nationalities.
We don't run auditions, and it is not even necessary to read music. We rehearse each Thursday evening in the British School, location at Diamanthorst 16, The Hague, from 1945 until 2200 hrs (for a map click here). We perform concerts four times per year.
Meet Malcolm Davies, our Conductor.
