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.

Our performances for the 2007/08 season were as follows:
  • Orff Carmina Burana
  • Mayor's Christmas Concert
  • Brahms German Requiem
  • Bach St John Passion
  • Carter Benedicite
  • Elgar Part Songs

In the 2008/09 concert season we are delighted to bring another exciting mix of musical offerings to our audiences.  These will include some popular classics and some works that may not be so familiar:  (Further information can be found on our Concert page)

  • Duruflé Quatre Motets and Duruflé Requiem
  • Morten Lauriden O Magnum Mysterium
  • European Carols Christmas Concert 
  • Bach St Matthew Passion
  • Stainer Crucifixion
  • English Choral Classics

In addition to our rehearsals and concerts we have undertaken a range of other activities, including working with other choirs and peforming outside of the local area.  We have sung Christmas music at Hatton Country World, and we have also sung on Coventry and Warwickshire Radio.  A number of social events are held each year, for example a summer garden party, book and cake sales, skittles and a promises auction. 

Every member is encouraged to be involved with the choir, and it is a great way of singing good music and making friends.
