Clear proof of what can be achieved when high professional standards are applied to amateur music making Henley Standard
Join us for a super Showcase of Henley Youth Choir talent!
6.30pm, Thursday April 30th d:two Community Centre, Marketplace, Henley
Tickets £8.00. Under 18’s FREE! Buy tickets here
This is a wonderful opportunity for children (and their parents) to experience HYC in action and decide if they would like to join. See our wonderful Youth Choir performing a varied repertoire, both as a group, and in solo performance, complete with our “house band.” We also welcome our school partners, sponsors, supporters and all those who love to see children and young people in our local community sharing the joy of singing.
We are also delighted that our two “Voices of the Future Choral Scholars” Elenor Vockins and Ruby Hewitt will be performing, especially as Ellie’s desire to pursue a career as a professional singer was inspired by being a member of Henley Youth Choir when she was a teenager.
Directed by Richard Harker, and with superb accompaniment from pianist Anita D’Attellis, Andy Crowdy on guitar, and Oli Butterworth on drums, the Showcase promises to be a very special occasion.

7.30pm Saturday 13th June 2026, St Mary’s Church, Henley on Thames
Tickets £22.00, family tickets available! Buy tickets here
True to Rossini’s playful spirit, this Mass is neither “petite” nor particularly “solemn” – instead, it overflows with charm, wit, and expressive warmth. With a star cast of soloists and Rossini’s original arrangement of two pianos and a harmonium, join us for a Summer evening filled with cheerful rhythms, superb solos, and tune after irresistible tune.
