The choir
Founded in the year after the end of WW2, the choir's repertoire includes the great choral works of J.S. Bach as well the works of composers from Britain, Europe and beyond,
Over the years the choir's performances have spanned six centuries - from the early Baroque period of the 17th century to the present day.
Concerts are always accompanied by professional orchestras and make a point of engaging young professional soloists who are at the beginning of their musical careers.
With over a hundred auditioned singing members, Cheltenham Bach Choir performs a minimum of four seasonal concerts each year, and always in super venues such as Cheltenham Town Hall, Tewkesbury Abbey, Great Malvern Priory and Cirencester's beautiful Parish Church St John Baptist.
