About Treble Clef Ladies' Choir

The Choir was formed in 1989 and we now have approximately sixty members. We meet every Monday evening at 8pm in the Church Hall of Christ the Prince of Peace, Portmore Way, Portmore Park Road, Weybridge, Surrey KT13 8 JD.

We have no formal auditions but Christine Best, the Musical Director, will place you in the section of the choir most suited to your voice.

We have a very varied repertoire. The Choir performs many different styles of music, ranging from classical pieces to toe-tapping show numbers. The choir has adopted the Sam Beare Hospice in Weybridge as our local charity, but we continue to support many other local, national and international charities and also sings at weddings and private parties.

We have performed in the Rochester and Chichester Cathedrals and in the Royal Albert Hall at the Festival of Brass and Voices.

We have sung in many joint concerts with the Weybridge Male Voice Choir and in Basingstoke with the Basingstoke Ladies' Choir and a visiting choir from Stevenage.

The Choir holds its annual Christmas Carol Concert at St James’ Church, Weybridge, KT13 8DE.

Christine Best - Musical Director

The Treble Clef Choir is very fortunate to have Christine Best as its Musical Director. Through her musical ability and dedication she has led the choir since its formation in 1989.

Christine is also Musical Director of the Weybridge Male Voice Choir and the two choirs have joined together in combined concerts. She directs the St James' Church Choir in Weybridge, where she is also organist.

Additionally, Christine is Musical Director of the Weyward Singers, a mixed choir, teaches piano and organ and organises instrumental groups for young people. She is a Governor of St James' Church of England Primary School in Weybridge where she assists with the music.

Last year, she was made an honorary member of the Guild of Church Musicians.

Emma Hawksley - Accompanist

Emma has been our accompanist for the last six years. She graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2001 after studying for a Master's degree in composition and piano performance.

She worked in Northern Ireland in a variety of schools as composer in residence for the Belfast Arts Council, then taught music and performing arts at the Rudolph Steiner School in New England, USA.

After returning to the UK to have her son, Emma taught the piano and saxophone privately to children and adults in the local area. In 2007, after having her second son, she began working as a music teacher at Feltonfleet Preparatory School in Cobham teaching music.

Emma teaches piano, saxophone and voice and runs a jazz trio.
