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 join
your voice with ours.
Are you a singer in search of a choir?
We are looking to expand our repertoire of Baroque and modern music, as well as take an occasional dip into music of other eras. Experienced singers of any voice would be welcome to join us as we approach our 30th anniversary, and the 7th Bach Festival (in October 2010) of the current series. Singers who can spare time from other Bath choirs for the Festival are particularly welcome, and rehearsals for the St Matthew Passion and B Minor Mass will begin in April 2010.
If you might be interested please call 01225 333527, or e-mail us at info@chantry-singers.org.uk
