Rachel Allgood
Musical Director
The Eden Singers is a community choir of all ages drawn from the Eden area of Cumbria. Our aim is to provide enjoyment, both for our members and audiences, by performing a wide variety of music styles. We are a mixed choir singing in 4-parts: sopranos, altos, tenors and basses.

The choir holds its rehearsals at the Penrith Methodist Church on Wordsworth Street, Penrith, on Tuesday nights, from 7.15pm to 9.00pm. The first set of rehearsals begins in early September culminating in a concert held at Penrith Methodist Church, Wordsworth Street, Penrith in early December. The second set of rehearsals follows a similar pattern beginning in early January with a concert being held in April.
Since the retirement of John Helyer as musical director in May 2023 after many years developing the choir, Rachel Allgood took over in September 2023. Rachel will be familiar to our audiences as she has conducted the choir in recent concerts. For the coming season she will be supported by John Helyer who is kindly returning as accompanist.
