Welcome to the Home of Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir

The Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir is one of the leading amateur choirs in the Leamington area. We give regular concerts throughout the year and perform a wide and varied repertoire. This web site will give you information about:


Message from the Chairman

The Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir has around 80 members from all walks of life, all of whom enjoy singing.  We are a friendly group of people who have gained a reputation for being one of Warwickshire's best amateur choirs. We rehearse weekly on a Wednesday evening during term time where we work with our Musical Director and Conductor, Nigel Stark, and accompanist, Colin Druce.  On the day of a concert (normally a Saturday) we have a dress rehearsal in the afternoon, followed by the concert in the evening.

In the 2009/10 concert season we are delighted to bring another exciting mix of musical offerings to our audiences.  These include some popular classics and some works that may not be so familiar:  (Further information can be found on our Concert page)
 

  • Verdi Requiem - co-production with Portsmouth Choral Union - (performances at Portsmouth and Leamington Spa)

  • Christmas Concert - 'Carols Old and New'

In the new year:

  • Last Night of the Proms with City of Birmingham Brass

  • Constant Lambert - Rio Grande

  • Choral works by Delius

  • Contemporary International Choral Classics - featuring works by Bob Chilcott, Morten Lauridsen and exerpts from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana 
     

In addition to our rehearsals and concerts we undertake a range of other activities, including working with other choirs and performing outside of the local area.  We aim to provide a 'Come and Sing' event during the year to give prospective singers an opportunity to experience the challenge of singing with a big chorus and possibly joining the choir on a permanent basis.  We were invited by the Mayor of Leamington Spa to support his 2008 Charity Appeal in a Concert with Sir John Tomlinson. We have sung Christmas music at Hatton Country World & Burton Dassett, and have also performed on Coventry and Warwickshire Radio.  

We also provide a range of social and fundraising events each year, such as a summer garden party, book/cd and cake sales, skittles and a promises auction. 
 

Every member is encouraged to be involved with the choir, which provides a great way of singing and experiencing music and making new friends.
