Birmingham Bach Choir, a friendly and purposeful group of about 70 singers who enjoy performing a distinctive repertoire in prestigious venues, is now recruiting new members.
Their main programming focus is on the music of J S Bach and the baroque period, though they also perform music from the classical and romantic periods, from Haydn and Mozart to Brahms and Mendelssohn, and more modern repertoire, especially 20th century British music.
Regular performances in Symphony Hall are accompanied by international orchestras like the English Chamber Orchestra, often with world-class soloists. They also tour within the UK and Europe, and have strong links with Bach’s own church, St Thomas’s Leipzig, where they have performed twice in past years.
You don’t have to be an expert or a great singer to join the Birmingham Bach Choir but you should be able to read music and to enjoy working hard with everyone else to achieve the high standards we look to maintain. All good singers are invited to join but, like most choirs, Tenors and Basses are especially welcome. If you decide you would like to join, you will be given a short audition.
If you’d like to find out more, why not go along to a Wednesday evening rehearsal? Rehearsals are held from 7.15 - 9.30pm on Wednesdays at St George’s School, Beaufort Road, Edgbaston, behind the Plough and Harrow Hotel on the Hagley Road.
