About D'Capo
D’Capo Choir was formed in 2007. Our aim is to raise money for charities and good causes - not only by entertaining the public, but by enjoying ourselves too! We use the universal language of music to support national and international charities and charitable causes in Norfolk. Over recent years we have raised over £9,000 for charity disaster appeals.
Music has a beneficial effect on people and communities - this is why we use our love of singing to make a positive difference.
We are a choir of mixed SATB voices, singing a very wide variety of styles from Latin motets to spirituals, folk songs to musical theatre and The Beatles. We have sung in numerous venues around Norfolk, from beautiful churches to cow sheds!
We sing at diverse occasions including charity events, celebrations, church services, and Christmas festivities. We have been asked to sing at many weddings, and received wonderful compliments on how much our music has added to the ceremony.
Musical Director
Claire Dixon ARCM is a well-known and well-regarded conductor who has directed many other choirs. She was with Wymondham Choral Society for many years, first as accompanist, and then conductor. At the Colchester Institute of Music, Claire studied pianoforte under Alan Grenville. At music college, she was also introduced to string, woodwind and vocal study.
Claire has been D'Capo's musical director since its inception in 2007.
Accompanist
Katie Vaughan joined D'Capo as our permanent accompanist in 2017. She is also an accomplished pianist in her own right, and does solo work, percussion, composition and arranging. She has extensive experience working with choirs as accompanist or director.
What do we sing?
We sing a very wide range of music from Latin motets to spirituals, from folk songs to The Beatles and musical theatre. D'Capo's repertoire runs to over 350 pieces.
If you'd like us to sing music at your event - family celebration, wedding, commemoration or church service - please contact us. We also sing at various charity events across our area.
D'Capo can sing what you choose, or we can produce our own programme for you. Your event can be tailor-made to suit you. If there is something you would specifically like our choir to sing, please discuss this with our musical director.
We ask for a donation when we sing for you (minimum of £50), which helps us buy new music for the choir.
Weddings
D'Capo has been asked to sing for over 40 weddings - including entrance music, individual pieces, during signing of the registers, and music to walk out to. We have compiled a varied repertoire of suitable wedding music. Alternatively, you can request your own choice of music which we will try to find for you. Wedding couples are welcome to attend a choir rehearsal to hear some options in order to make their choices. Please contact us if you would like more information.
Our charge for weddings is £150. Payment is due on the day of the wedding, to be given in cash to our musical director.
The choir has sung around 50 very different pieces of music for weddings for example: All you need is love, Ave Verum, Can't help falling in love, Fields of gold, Hallelujah, Here comes the sun, Let it be me, Love divine, Make you feel me love, Pachelbel's canon, Psalm 23, The Lord bless you and keep you, Swing low sweet chariot, Up where we belong, Walk hand in hand with me, Beethoven's Welten Singen, Wind beneath my wings, and You raise me up.
