Salisbury Chamber Chorus is honoured to announce that world-renowned opera singer. Rosalind Plowright, OBE, has agreed to become its first Patron.

Rosalind, a Salisbury resident, was invited to attend the Chorus’s Opera Gala concert at St Thomas’s Church in June. Commenting afterwards, she said ‘There are some very fine voices in the choir, and the choice of the pieces performed and the colours the choir created were both moving and uplifting’.

Her first public engagement with the Chorus will be a public masterclass featuring members of the Chorus at The Medieval Hall, Salisbury on Saturday, 18th October.

Simon McEnery, Artistic Director of the Salisbury Chamber Chorus, says ‘We are delighted to have Rosalind as our Patron. I've had the privilege of working with her on a couple of occasions and admire her greatly, so to have someone of her stature lending us her name and support means a lot’.

With a career spanning almost 50 years, Rosalind Plowright is one of the country’s most celebrated operatic artists. She has sung at nearly all the major international opera houses of the world with legendary colleagues such as Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. Most recently, in June 2025, she performed in a new production of Cavalleria Rusticana for the Bayerische Staatsoper, Munich.

In recognition of her services to music, Rosalind was awarded the OBE in 2007.

Salisbury Chamber Chorus was founded in 2010 to meet a demand from singers with trained voices who enjoy music of a more operatic style. Members range from the complete amateur to professionals, and concerts take place locally, across the south of England and in London
