Welcome to Durham Choral Society

Durham Choral Society is a mixed voice choir with around 150 members. We sing two major concerts a year in the prestigious setting of Durham Cathedral. Our concerts have full orchestral accompaniment, and professional soloists are brought in as required.

In addition, we combine with a top-class local brass band in December to present a An Evening of Festive Music. This usually takes place in Elvet Methodist Church, Durham.

The repertoire of the Society is varied, including traditional choral music such as Bach's B Minor Mass and Mozart's Requiem and works by more modern composers such as Peter Maxwell Davis. We have also performed specially commissioned works by new composers such as Durham born Will Todd.  We're not afraid of a challenge, as shown by our recent performance of Vaughan William's Sea Symphony and tackling Beethoven's Ninth.

Other activities include festive music, such as carol singing in local Nursing Homes and Hospitals.

National Sing Day takes place in July, and each year a section of the Choir travels to sing in the Royal Albert Hall as part of the The Really Big Chorus.

We welcome new voices to the choir each year - see 'Join the Society' for more information. There is no audition - so come along and try us out! OR, you might like to come along to Durham Cathedral for one of our forthcoming concerts. Click HERE for more details.
