Swan Singers
Conductor Tricia Rees-Jones
Based in the beautiful city of Wells in Somerset, the Swan Singers are a group of local singers who perform repertoire from the Renaissance to the present day. Our concerts blend the familiar with new discoveries and we have given first performances of works by Ian Assersohn, Hywel Davies and Ian Crawford. We perform three or four concerts a year and believe that it’s more than possible to work on producing the best possible sound and still have a fun and relaxing time – our rehearsals are full of laughter as well as great music.
