Find out about Coro Nuovo
Coro Nuovo History
Coro Nuovo was founded in 2013 by Andrew Rees and Catherine Kent. It is a choir of up to around 45 experienced singers who are keen to improve their singing and performance. We are an occasional choir, coming together for concerts in the Spring, Summer and Christmas with typically four or five rehearsals per concert.Â
Our first Music Director (between 2013 and 2022) was Andrew Rees.  We are very grateful for Andy’s nine years of service to Coro Nuovo, including starting the annual Coro Nuovo’s Sussex Young Musician of the Year Competition. He has given us a great foundation to build on and to take the choir forward.
