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 Mozart's Requiem and Schubert's Mass No. 3 in B flat accompanied by the Bristol Ensemble. The choir is hosting a Workshop on Ralph Vaughan-Williams's Mass in G minor on February 18th at Thornbury Baptist Church (for booking form see Workshops or contact Jos Gregson on 01454-411652 or by email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
