Atherstone Choral Society

It’s not long until our Spring/Easter concert. We were in the middle of rehearsing Dvorak Stabat Mater in March 2020 when the Covid pandemic struck and the concert had to be abandoned. So here we are 3 years later, getting ready to perform this beautiful piece at St Paul’s Church, Stockingford, Nuneaton on Saturday April 1st at 7.30pm. Tickets are available through the website, or from members, or via email at events@atherstonechoralsociety.uk. We hope to see as many as possible fill the church to hear us perform this wonderful music.

What a fabulous concert on Saturday 12th November singing Mozart Requiem to a full church.

So on we go to rehearse our Christmas music for our last concert of 2022. Sunday 11th December sees us at Holy Trinity  Church Hartshill at 4pm for our Christmas concert together with Bedworth Brass Band. What a wonderful start to the Christmas period! Tickets are available on our website or through members.

Lots of opportunities coming up before Christmas to hear Atherstone Choral Society. First up is our concert on Remembrance weekend, Saturday 12th November where we are singing Mozart Requiem at Nuneaton Parish Church. Further info and tickets under Calendar. Our Christmas concert is on Sunday 11th December at Holy Trinity church, Hartshill at 4pm where we’ll be joined by Bedworth Brass. A fabulous concert to start Christmas.

On 26th November we are performing at Dickens Night in Atherstone for the switching on of their Christmas lights. Astley Book Farm have asked us to sing on 12th December as part of their week of Christmas events and on 17th December we are again singing in the market square in Atherstone. We are also entertaining residents at Harmony Care Home one afternoon. A busy time for everyone!

Hope we can see you at one of these events!

September is upon us and Atherstone Choral Society is gearing up for the start of their singing year. This term we are performing Mozart Requiem in November and we’ll be accompanied by Bedworth Brass for our Christmas concert in December. So lots to rehearse! If you love singing and wish to join us, we start again on Monday 5th September. Just pop an email along to our Membership Secretary first so you can be welcomed appropriately  memb.sec@atherstonechoralsociety.uk

Well we’re very excited to say that all of our concerts for 2022 are now in the Calendar (just click on Calendar on the menu to read about each concert). We’re very much looking forward to performing this year, and especially as it is the year of the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our summer concert in June will be a celebration of music from all decades of her reign. Do put the dates in your diaries and come along to hear us singing.

Following a very successful Autumn term 2021, with two wonderful concerts, the New Year 2022 brings Atherstone Choral Society back together on Monday 10th January to start rehearsing for their Easter concert on 9th April, where we will be singing Stainer’s Crucifixion and Faure’s Requiem. New members are very welcome, but please contact the Membership Secretary first if possible so we can be ready for you.
