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 two-legged dragon used in the flag of Wessex.
[citation needed] The Wessex also occasionally places in regional and international choral competitions.
[3] 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.
