A mixed choir based in Bakewell, Derbyshire
President: The Duchess of Devonshire DL
Registered Charity No 509299
Formed in 1978, Bakewell Choral Society is a friendly, mixed choir of more than 80 members.
The choir performs four public concerts each year, including a Christmas concert featuring Christmas music, carols, festive poems and prose extracts. Other concerts are a blend of sacred and secular choral music, sometimes including contemporary pieces - by local composers - and, occasionally, commissioned new works.
Our Musical Director is Richard Barnes MBE.
We are currently seeking new members in the soprano, tenor and bass sections of the choir. Previous choral experience is not essential but always welcome.
The Society continues its long tradition of not holding auditions for new members.
We meet on Monday evening in term time (7:15 to 9:30pm) at Bakewell Methodist Church, Bakewell (click for map)
Potential members should contact our Membership Secretary, Penny Senior, on 01629 650919 for further information and to arrange attending a rehearsal.
Subscriptions are £65 per year.
The Society is extremely grateful for the support of the Friends of Bakewell Choral Society who enable us to present concerts of the highest calibre. More Details ...
