Since its formation, the Chorus has presented an average of five concerts a year, some in local churches, some in larger venues such as Newcastle Cathedral and leisure centres in Ashington, Cramlington, Hexham and Morpeth. Concerts are often arranged in collaboration with other choral groups and orchestras.
