Our Choir

The Society was founded in 1972 and we still have some founder members amongst us.

Each concert season typically comprises five major performances, with a number of smaller events, including an NCS-hosted choral singing day, also in the calendar. The society has recently performed at Bunbury Parish Church, Chester Cathedral and Winsford Civic Hall, but its chosen venue is the Parish Church of St Mary at Nantwich. Often described as ‘the Cathedral of South Cheshire’, this fourteenth century gem was considered by Sir John Betjeman to be architecturally one of the most satisfying mediaeval churches in the country. The vast nave, originally designed for public performance, has witnessed many musical offerings in its six hundred year history, and its acoustics are superb. These are some of the reasons that members of the Choral Society, and visiting professionals alike, consider it a privilege to perform at St Mary’s.

Rehearsals are held at 7.30pm each Wednesday, at the Methodist Church, Hospital St, Nantwich

Repertoire
