Thornbury Choral Society hold an annual workshop, practising and performing a major choral work in a day, usually in February in Thornbury Baptist Church. This workshop gives local singers an opportunity to get to practise with a large choir under conductor Steven Kings' expert guidance and to introduce potential new members to the workings of the choir. It also raises funds to pay for the performance of works requiring larger forces. In addition, there is usually a retiring collection for a charity.
Please see the events pages. For further information about our next workshop, please contact workshop@thornburychoralsociety.org.uk.
