Welcome to the

THORNBURY CHORAL SOCIETY

Website

We are a non-auditioned choir bringing quality concerts to our community.

Rehearsals are normally on Monday nights at 8pm at Thornbury URC.

However, because of the coronavirus outbreak, we have been rehearsing on Zoom.

Rehearsals are on Zoom on Monday nights from 8-9.30pm.  

More details are available here and by email to members.

We are rehearsing:

Requiem (Fauré)

Cantique de Jean Racine (Fauré)

“The Armed Man” parts 1, 3, 5, 6, 12, 13 (Karl Jenkins)

Harmonie Messe (Haydn)

There will be a virtual concert of these pieces on Saturday 8 May 2021

We hope to be able to return to normal later in the Spring or Summer with live rehearsals and live concerts.
