Hear Minerva Chorus

See our latest videos

Our much-loved chorus member Lynne sadly passed away on 3rd January 2021. At her request, we had added Skye Boat Song song to our repertoire. In memory of Lynne we have made this video (music arranged by Anne Dargue, bagpipes played by Mike (husband of Chorus member Viv), and photos of Lynne's beloved Scotland provided by Chorus members). We will miss Lynne more than words can say - the music says everything https://youtu.be/jx-vjlzmqZI

Welcome to the Minerva Website

We're a friendly group of women who love close harmony unaccompanied singing.  We rehearse in Walton, Chesterfield, on Monday evenings and sing a mix of songs from a variety of eras and genres.  We are committed to working together to improve our vocal techniques and produce a quality sound. 

We aim to perform several times a year in the North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire area, including at least one performance to support a charity or community group of our choice.  Please see our Events Page for more information on our recent and planned performances, and if you are interested in inviting us to sing at your event please contact us

We are open to applications from women who wish to join our chorus - from all voice parts, Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto 1 and Alto 2.  There is no requirement to read music as we provide tracks to help learn the songs.   Please see our How to Join Us us page for more information.

We love to take on some challenging repertoire and set ourselves the highest standards of performance.  Please see our About Us page for more information.

We are also on Twitter (@MinervaChorus) and Facebook, and you can contact us from the website.
