Thornbury Choral
Society grew out of Thornbury Music Club and Choir founded in
1963. Our conductor, Steven Kings, joined us in September
2005. The Society’s main concerts, usually with full
orchestra, are held in May and November. Performances in
recent years have included works by composers as varied as
Bach, Elgar, Carl Orff, Mozart, Tippett, Kurt Weill and Verdi
and the choir has just performed Handel's Messiah as part of the commemorations of the 250th Anniversary of Handel's death. The Hallelujah Chorus has been recorded and will be sent to the BBC as part of their Hallelujah Project. |
