At Durham Choral Society we are dedicated to celebrating the joy of great choral singing in the North East of England, enriching the lives of our singers and the community.
We’re a friendly welcoming mixed voice choir of around 115 members who share a love of choral singing. We don’t hold auditions, but our dynamic musical director encourages us to achieve ever higher standards and perform increasingly ambitious repertoire.
Twice a year you’ll have the opportunity to be part of fantastic performances in the stunning venue of Durham Cathedral. We also enjoy performing an annual Festive concert in a community venue. The repertoire of the Society is varied, including traditional choral music by composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Handel and Bach as well as works by modern composers such as Howard Goodall and Ola Gjeilo. We have also commissioned works by modern composers such as Durham-born Will Todd who is our President.
In 2026/27 we’ll be preparing for our performances of Handel’s Messiah on Saturday 23 January 2027 and Brahms A German Requiem on Saturday 22 May 2027.
