The Royal Free Singers is a community choir based in Windsor. We enjoy singing together and performing a wide range of exciting and uplifting music.
​
Our programmes are varied and often challenging. Previous concerts range from Bach to Rossini, from Russian masterpieces to Elgar, from Handel to contemporary composers – including the premier of a specially commissioned piece by our Patron, Jonathan Willcocks, The Song of Mary.
​
Our Musical Director is Ben Gunner, who set up the choir in 1973 when he was music teacher at the Royal Free Boys School in Windsor – hence our name. Since those small beginnings, we have grown to a choir of over 100 singers.
​
Our accompanist is John Chantrey, who has a lifetime experience of playing the piano and has supported RFS for many years – both in rehearsals and concerts.
​
We are also fortunate in having guest conductors and accompanists from time to time and our concerts are supported by professional soloists and musicians.
The RFS has a particular ethos which we all cherish very much. It is a community choir open to all but it also has a very strong sense of itself as a community, like an ever open family. It has a sociable and kind membership where people interact and look out for each other.
Ben Gunner, Musical Director
