Walton Voices (formally known as Walton & Oatlands Choral Society) was founded in 1932. Few records remain from its early years, but we do know that the society continued to flourish during the Second World War. Leading up to the millennium and just after, membership of the choir had started to fall considerably and by the Spring of 2013 was close to 20 singers. Since Jonathan has taken over and rebranded the choir as Walton Voices the choir has tripled in size in three years. The aim of the choir is to sing music that the singers love and share it with audiences for our local community. The repertoire completely varies from term to term and each year the singers will be set with new challenges. Jonathan is extremely keen to introduce audiences to new music that might not have been performed in Elmbridge or even Surrey before. One example of this was when the choir performed Bob Chilcott's St. John Passion in Easter 2016. A work which was written only two years before.
