Welcome
Bra-vissima is a small, non-profit making ladies choir formed and led by Julia Wilson-James, herself an established soprano soloist from Brentwood. We sing a wide range of music, both sacred and secular, with keyboard accompaniment, orchestras and a capella. We perform to raise money for a nominated charity, which changes each year. This year, proceeds from our concerts will be donated to I Got Shoes, a charity that provides stepping stones to education.
Thank you to Brentwood Arts Council and Brentwood Cathedral for their continued support.
For further details of our forthcoming concerts and other dates for your diary, please see our Events page.
