Autumn 2026


Teignmouth Folk Festival: ‘Whether in a space large or small, the choir touches the very heart with their compelling sound, summoning stories and melodies of old, shaped into something new, relatable and truly their own. The Lost Sound show that they are a choir of and for the people, the land, the present and the future."

Huge thanks to Mark Burley from Sherewood Gallery and George Birch and Andrew Lester for fabulous photos over the years.

The choir has now closed. After a particularly difficult end of 2025 and beginning of 2026 due to family end of life situations for Sandra and other choir members, it is time to close the choir and look to new projects and new beginnings.
We have had a remarkable 16 years of singing and community - of harmony and melody. We’ve worked hard and enjoyed both the challenges and the successes.
We want to thank-you all for your wonderful support - for spreading the word about our singing and coming to our concerts, for your enthusiasm and feedback - it helped us enormously to grow into a confident choir.
You’ll see singers are joining other choirs or musical groups, so do say hello if you spot them in the line up!
Sandra is currently running singing workshops and courses and also coaching other choirs in the techniques that made The Lost Sound so wonderful . She is also mentoring other choir leaders to ensure that choirs of the future continue to develop

Audience from Brixham Summer 2024, Country Matters concert

“ I have seen/heard so many choirs over the years and I can say I was totally entranced- the musical direction was first class- the sound/stage presence and the connection with the audience was perfect x thank you”

The Lost Sound Audience

That was one heck of a beautiful concert the other night. Fantastic choir, amazingly impressed that everything was from memory (crickey, you really whip them into shape!), wonderful variety of songs, groupings and the conductor was fab - u - lous! What a joyful evening you created for everyone who had the good fortune of getting a ticket! Can't wait to hear the winter songs you've picked out.”
