[Testimonial from a past
Member]
I have had a wonderful 18
years as a member of the choir - it has been a real joy to sing such a wide
repertoire with you - thank you for that and thank you to all my fellow
choir members who have been so kind and supportive in recent years. Good
luck and keep up the good work. |

Welcome to
Durham Choral Society
|
|
Durham Choral Society is a mixed voice choir with over 130 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 programme of Festive Music appropriate to the Season, "Festive
Brass with Voices". 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. We'd particularly love more TENORS to
complement our splendid - and very beautiful - core. 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. |
