Each year, St Dunstan's chorus performs a piece or pieces of Choral work. The St Dunstan's choir is joined in this venture by singers from all over the area for practices from early January. The concert normally takes place just before Easter unless that is early when a later date is fixed.

In 2005, over 160 singers from the area joined together in St Dunstan's chorus to perform Handel's Messiah under the baton of John Lillis. The soloists were Gordana Kostic standing in for 'regular' Joanna Forbes (Soprano) who was ill, Alex L'Estrange (Counter Tenor), Simon Wall (Tenor) and John Lillis himself (Bass). Bill Hayward accompanied the concert.

2005 was the centenary of WAVS (Woking Association of Voluntary Service) and the concert was given in support of this cause.

As this was an important event in the WAVS centenary celebrations, the event welcomed the Mayor and Mayoress of Woking , Cllr Graham and Mrs Sarah Cundy. This was the first
time a serving Mayor has attended the concert.

Concert goers showed their appreciation by generously donating £891 to WAVS.
