NAS was founded in the 1960s and is a friendly, close-knit group, of around 15 very experienced choral singers, from Nottinghamshire and North Leicestershire. We sing a wide range of mainly a capella music, both sacred and secular and we enjoy performing compositions and arrangements by local composers or friends of the choir.

Most concerts are given, by invitation, in village churches and halls, and we perform a Christmas concert each year at Newstead Abbey

The Orchestra comprises around 30 musicians and performs 3 concerts a year, rehearsing on Thursday evenings in Bath. There are no auditions, but members are normally at Grade 5+. We perform a wide-ranging repertoire of well-known masterpieces and rare gems from around the world. We are well-known for supporting new local composers with developing works. With people of all ages, standards and backgrounds, ‘The Argyle’ as it’s affectionately known, is a friendly and welcoming ensemble.

The Argyle is established as an unincorporated charity with a membership comprising the players and an elected committee. The committee will lead on the recruitment and selection process, but will be informed by input from Orchestra members.
