This was quite possibly the most euphoric moment of our entire lives! (So far!) Surrey Hills Chamber Choir was crowned Adult Choir of the Year 2012 at Manchester Bridgewater Hall on 6 October.

I have just looked in the diary to check the date - in it I have written: 'Reserve on the off-chance we get through to the category finals of Choir of the Year.' With 250 choirs accepted to compete, we had only moderate expectations that we would get to the final six in the adult category, let alone win it, particularly as we were up against choirs from conservatoires, where every member has the capability of a professional career in music.

The Grand Final is being televised on BBC 4 on 23rd November.
