Brighton Voices exists to allow everyone access to performing great choral works in an encouraging, welcoming and diverse environment
We are busy rehearsing our Christmas music with our splendid temporary Musical Director Michael Maine. David Stevens is returning to conduct the Christmas Concert with all the All Saints choirs on Sunday 14th December at 7pm.
Michael has also introduced us to the beautiful Schubert Mass in G - it's worth coming to rehearsal for the sheer pleasure of learning and singing that alone!

Our repertoire is both secular and sacred mostly classical music, sung in four or more parts with a smattering of Victorian Part Songs. In the past we have worked on a number of pieces that are more challenging than those traditionally undertaken by community choirs and will continue to do so.
Have a look at our Performances section (see left) to get a better idea of our repertoire.
Michael Maine is a Cornishman by birth and studied the organ at Truro Cathedral where he was a choral scholar. He moved to Brighton in 1976, where he became involved rapidly in the musical life of Brighton and Hove. He was Director of Music at both St Christopher’s School and J. L Pearson’s magnificent All Saints Church, Hove for almost thirty years. Michael was ordained in 2011, and retired in 2024 after seven happy years as the Vicar and Rural Dean of Cuckfield, West Sussex. He is now the Honorary Assistant Priest at St Bartholomew’s in Brighton.
