Our 22nd year of singing
January 2026
See the Musical Director’s January 2026 message further down this page
2025 was a busy year for VoiceBox. The highlight was our joint concert with ImTakt on 31 May 2025, the Cologne choir which hosted our visit to Germany in May 2024. We packed a lot into the weekend our German friends spent with us: a visit to Oxford, trips to the Cotswolds, rehearsals for our joint concert which played to a full house in St Mary’s Church and – of course – a party!
An audience reaction: one gentleman – 100 in August – had tears in his eyes and said “if all people could be like this, just enjoying and making music together, there would be no war in the world”. Given that he went into France five weeks after D-Day and we were waving German flags last night, I think that’s quite something… He loved it.

About VoiceBox
VoiceBox was formed in 2004 by Lesley Morris and Keith Harris. The choir has sung on local radio and is now well known, singing in festivals, fund raisers and concerts, both at home and abroad.
The choir has around 40 members and performs a wide variety of music, ranging through choral classics, gospel, musical theatre, barbershop, folk, pop and early music, each presented in its own vital and lively style.
Since its formation VoiceBox has raised thousands of pounds for local, national and international charities. We are a friendly bunch, and have a warm and supportive atmosphere for everyone to have fun, enjoy their singing, and to flourish musically.

Musical Director Lesley Morris writes:
Happy New Year everyone – we are very excited and enjoying our start to 2026.

We are pleased to have been able to donate £500, raised during the Christmas period, to ‘We Are Donors’, the charity supported by our former soprano Claire Barwick and her family. Claire died suddenly in mid-2025 and is greatly missed by the choir.
We are starting off January with some great new pieces and a few old ones which we will have sung before, but which will be new to some people.
Our first concert this year is ‘Transports of Delight’ on 30th January.
This will be for Long Hanborough Motor Museum – they were thrilled with our carols afternoon in December and have invited us back to sing after dinner at their AGM.
After this we will be starting on Stanford’s ‘Quick we have but a second’, which is seductive little number disguised as a drinking song, and also ‘And so it goes’, amongst others. These will be part of the programme for a concert we will be giving for a group of WIs in North Leigh on May 6th, the theme being Love & Springtime.
Later in the year we hope to give a 22nd Birthday Concert.
We are always open to musical suggestions from choir members, and encourage singers to take solo lines where available – as one of the hallmarks of this choir is marrying the full choral sound with the individual voices.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome any new members. For more information, please send an email to voiceboxwitney@gmail.com
And keep singing!
