-             The Collati Singers is a chamber choir conducted by Trefor Farrow, which rehearses in Bittaford near Ivybridge. The choir’s name comes from the Latin word collati (col-lah-tee) which means bringing together, as in 'to collate'. Trefor and his wife Gillian (soprano) set the choir up in 2013. We sing challenging unaccompanied music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, as well as more recent works by twentieth and twenty-first century composers. The choir has now grown to a membership of around 30. We are a friendly and welcoming choir and aspire to a high standard of performance! We always welcome enquiries from experienced choral singers. Rather than doing formal auditions we invite potential members to come along to rehearsals for a few weeks to try us out.
