Choral music in Bath

Welcome to the Chantry Singers…
For thirty years we have been singing in the City of Bath, inspired by its history, its buildings and the vitality here of all forms of the arts and sciences. In that time we have become one of the leading small choirs in the South West, admired by professionals, critics and, most importantly, by our audiences.

We hope you will find exploring our website enjoyable and informative, and will want to come to hear us sing, or to enjoy the other wonderful concerts of the 2010 Bach Festival which we organise and promote.

ANDREW MARR

launches Bach Festival in Bath

The well-known journalist, author and broadcaster has agreed to be the FESTIVAL PATRON for our October Bach Festival, and came to Bath on Thursday March 25th,

to start the build up for the Festival.

In conversation with Catherine Bott, Ruth Waterman and Professor Jonathan Cross around the theme 'Bach and Music for Our Time', the four held the audience entertained and informed throughout a wonderful evening. A number of interesting questions from the audience provoked more insights from the panel, which was guided with masterly skill by Andrew Marr himself.

The audience went away feeling that the Festival had been marked up in an original and stimulating way.
