Past Concert Programmes.
The list below gives the details of the principle concerts since 1997, which should give an impression of the type of repertoire that the choir sings! Taking the list back to 1950 might be rather tedious, although possibly of historical interest. The list does not include short lunchtime concerts nor the various choral Evensongs that we have done.
Concerts annotated 'RC' were promoted by Cumbria Rural Choirs, of which Wigton Choral Society forms part. A full list of the Rural Choirs concerts appears on the CRC website (see the 'Links' page).
