About the Wessex Harmony

Wessex Harmony (formerly Wessex Corn Dollies) was formed in 1981 with just a few friends. Today, the membership is close to 50. We sing acapella – 4 part unaccompanied singing. In 2005, as a result of two successful singing courses many new members joined the ranks. We rehearse every Tuesday 7.30 – 10.00 pm at St George’s Church, Darby’s Lane, Poole and members travel in from as far afield as Christchurch and Dorchester to enjoy this wonderful hobby. The chorus is under the direction of Franz Atkinson and in October 2007 at the Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (LABBS) Convention held at the BIC, Bournemouth romped home in 8th place competing against the top choruses in the UK. 2008 will prove an exciting year for Wessex, as we are now through to the second round of the Choir of the Year for the first time.

Would you like to come and see us? You are welcome to come and listen in at any of our rehearsals or check our events diary to see where we are performing next. If you can sing and would like to join, then phone Cathy on 01202 855213.
