The New Tottenham Singers are a North London choir who aren’t afraid to tackle challenging music. We were founded and are based in Tottenham, N15 but welcome choristers from all over London and beyond.
A mixed-voice SATB adult choir founded with the aim to unite and represent the community through the power of music and joy of singing, NTS was established in 2010 and we have around forty choristers, singing under the direction of Musical Director Tom Fowkes. We perform at least twice a year with major concerts usually at Christmas and in the summer, with other events in the local community and beyond throughout the year.
Major works we have performed include:
- Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas
- Vivaldi’s Gloria
- Howard Goodall’s Eternal Light: A Requiem
- Mozart’s Requiem
- Rutter’s Gloria
- Bob Chilcott’s A Little Jazz Mass
- Faure’s Requiem
Our repertoire is varied; as well as classical and liturgical music we also sing jazz, pop and musical theatre songs (including major excerpts from The Sound of Music, A Christmas Carol and Beauty and the Beast) and carols.
NTS is led by our Musical Director Tom Fowkes. Tom trained at Trinity College of Music, obtaining his degree in Composition and Conducting. He founded the New Tottenham Singers in November 2010 and has remained as Musical and Artistic Director ever since. His portfolio is rich and varied, and has led him to be Musical Director on numerous stage productions, whilst also being in demand as a church organist, vocal coach and instrumentalist with jazz bands and big bands.
