The St Richard Singers is a Chichester-based, mixed voice amateur chamber choir, which gives regular concerts of sacred and secular choral music in local churches and other venues. The choir was formed in 1969 by Noel Osborne who retired in 2004. Michael Walsh who took over as Musical Director also conducted the choir for a period of thirteen years between 1976 and 1989.

The singers have established a strong local reputation for polished and sensitive performances of works appropriate to this size of choir, and their repertoire and library is now wide. They have worked with many established professional soloists and instrumentalists. Performances have included Bach's St. Matthew and St. John Passions, Handel's Messiah, the Requiems of Brahms, Durufle, Faure, Mozart and Rutter, Masses by Haydn, Mozart, Rossini, Schubert and Vaughan Williams, Vespers of Monteverdi and Rachmaninov, Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, and many smaller choral works, both sacred and secular.

The choir rehearse on Monday evenings from 7.30pm until 9.00pm at St. George's Church, Cleveland Road, Chichester, PO19 7AD.
