Welcome to Leominster Choral Society website
Here you will find details of forthcoming concerts and workshops as well as information about the choir, how you can join us, or become a Friend of the society. New members are always welcome whether you are an experienced singer or are joining a choir for the first time.
The choir is long established, its origins going back to 1902. However, in its present form it was re-established in the mid 60s under the guidance of Vernon Thurgood who remained as Musical Director until he stepped down after 40 years in the post. He has been succeeded by James Atherton who was appointed in 2010.
Although much of the membership comes from surrounding towns and villages, the Choral Society is very much part of the town of Leominster with Carols by Candlelight being a highlight of the town’s Christmas celebrations.
In addition to Carols by Candlelight, a summer concert in May or June and an autumn concert usually in early November, all three performed in the Leominster Priory, form the normal annual programme.
Our Carols by Candlelight concert 2023, raised a grand total of £855.62 which was divided between the Cart Shed and the Leominster Food Bank Charities.
