The Orwell Singers - Member Organisations

The Orwell Singers

The Orwell Singers were established in Ipswich in 1993. They are a ladies choir of twenty-four members who enjoy singing a wide variety of music ranging from madrigals and light classical pieces to easy-listening numbers and folk songs.
The choir performs two concerts a year, one in December and one in June, at St Michael’s Church, Martlesham Heath. The choir also performs at weddings, festivals, charity concerts and parties. Over the years the choir has travelled to France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Wales.
The choir’s Musical Director is Gloria Wilson, who graduated from The Royal Academy of Music. She was Head of Music at Northgate Grammar School and then Ipswich High School for Girls where she became Deputy Head. The Orwell Singers are accompanied on the piano by David Ruddock, who studied music at the Colchester Institute gaining a degree from Durham University. He taught music at schools in Woodbridge and now teaches private piano and singing lessons.
