Registered Charity No. 1049352

Hardynge is the ancient name for Harpenden, dating from when it was a farming hamlet growing wheat for the nearby manor of Wheathampstead. The choir's name and logo symbolise these enduring connections.

The Hardynge Choir started in 1966 and continues to provide a challenging outlet for singers wishing to perform mostly the mainstream Choral Society repertoire.  There are no formal individual auditions for entry or ongoing membership.  We believe that singing should be taken seriously and worked at hard, but above all it should be fun and open to as many people as possible.

At least four concerts are given each year, usually with professional orchestras and soloists.

New Music Director

Sadly, Catherine Beddison, our Music Director since 2007, has accepted a new position and is moving out of the area.  Consequently, we are now in the process of appointing a new Music Director with drive and commitment to enthuse our members.

We are very pleased that Mark Jordan will be rehearsing the choir during this period, and will conduct our Carol Concert in St Mary’s Church, Redbourn.
