The choir takes its name from the ancient kingdom of Wessex, an area of land approximating to that of the modern English counties of Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, and Somerset. This is reflected in the choir’s logo which features a wyvern - the 2-legged dragon used in the flag of Wessex.
The choir typically performs seven or eight concerts each year, two of these being "home" concerts in Swindon at Christmas and in the summer, the others being in other venues around the country.[2] The choir has sung pre-match at Six Nations and other Rugby and NFL matches on the pitch at Twickenham Stadium and Wembley Stadium to audiences of up to 80,000.[citation needed]
Wessex Camerata is a chamber group composed of about 16 experienced singers who perform mainly a cappella pieces which supplement the main choir’s repertoire.
