Bedford Choral Society
Formed in 1867 Bedford Choral society is the 7th oldest Choral Society in the country. We celebrated our 150th Anniversary with a concert on 30 April 2017, exactly 150 years to the day since the first ever concert by the Choral Society. We perform a varied repertoire three or four times a year, usually in Bedford’s Corn Exchange. We also provide the choir for Bedford’s Proms in the Park in early August. We currently have approximately 140 members. Our Musical Director is Ian Smith, our Guest Conductor Michael Rose and our Assistant Chorus Master Tim Grant-Jones.
We rehearse on Monday evenings at St. Gregory’s School, Biddenham Turn, Bedford. We always welcome new singers. If you would like to sing with us or support us by becoming a ‘Friend of the Society’, please email membership@bedfordchoralsociety.org.uk for further information.
