The choir shares a love of choral singing of a high standard\, enjoying concerts\, competitions and the companionship that comes from making music together. \nIn October 2025\, Sempre Amabile enjoyed considerable success at the Isle of Man Festival of Choirs\, winning the Ladies’ Choir class\, the Open Category and the overall Choir of the Festival award. The choir is also very pleased to have been accepted to take part in the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in July 2026. \nRecent collaborations have included performances with Solway Singers\, and the choir is looking forward to singing with Bechgyn Bro Taf\, the Cardiff-based male voice choir. \nSempre Amabile enjoys singing music from a wide range of styles and periods\, from madrigals to musical theatre. At the heart of the choir’s music-making is a love of the relationship between words and music\, and a desire to communicate both clearly and honestly to an audience. The choir particularly enjoys exploring the colour and flexibility of its sound in response to different repertoire. \n \n\nCharlotte Jackson\, musical director\nCharlotte Jackson has made a significant contribution to choral music through her work as founder of Amabile Choirs\, Musical Director of Sempre Amabile and founder of Lyris for Women in Carlisle. Having stepped away from teaching singing in schools\, her focus is now on directing Sempre Amabile\, shaping the Senior Choir at Austin Friars School and developing her work with women’s voices through Lyris. This includes individual consultations\, small group online sessions and her women’s choir. Her work is rooted in a commitment to musical excellence\, alongside a belief in the importance of connection and shared experience in singing. Under her direction\, Sempre Amabile has become known for its thoughtful programming and finely shaped performances\, while the Amabile Choirs have provided a supportive and structured environment for young singers to develop. Charlotte works with both experienced singers and those returning to their voices\, creating a space that is both musically rigorous and warmly inclusive. Her work continues to centre on the development of the individual voice within the collective sound and on the lasting value of singing together. \n \n\nDavid Battersby\, pianist\nDavid Battersby is a distinguished accompanist known for his exceptional talent and dedication to the art of music. Having honed his skills at the prestigious London College of Music and the Royal College of Music\, he has garnered numerous accolades\, awards\, and bursaries throughout his illustrious career.
