Vivace! Choir – Summer 2025 Concert 3.30pm
A unique blend of music, community, and giving back
Vivace! is a friendly, mixed-voice chamber choir based in Ditchling. For over 22 years, we’ve been raising funds for local charities, churches, and community causes across Sussex through the joy of live music. Since 2003, our performances have helped raise more than £125,000 for a wide range of good causes.
With a varied repertoire that spans centuries and styles—from light-hearted and contemporary to classical and traditional. no two concerts are ever the same. “something for everyone.”
Vivace! concerts are often arranged in partnership with local charities or churches and held in venues throughout Sussex. The goal? To make beautiful music while helping local causes raise vital funds.
