We were formed in 1962 and are the longest-established choir in Blenheim. Our official title is the Blenheim Choral Society, but we are known as the Marlborough Singers, and this is the name we use when performing.
Our choir has a mixture of ages and abilities, but we all have one thing in common: we love to sing. We meet once a week, for two hours, rehearsing for two shows a year, which we perform for family, friends and the Marlborough community. On occasions we also join in concerts with the Marlborough District Brass Band and/or the Marlborough Civic Orchestra.
We always welcome new members! No auditions are necessary.

We present two concerts a year. The mid-year one is more informal, with anything from modern classics to Gilbert & Sullivan. Our end-of-year concert, performed in Marlborough's ASB Theatre, is always a more important, classical work.
