Sing Händel’s Messiah with us
Two open evenings to sit in, sing through the great choruses, and feel what it’s like to make this music with a choir founded in 1838. No audition. No commitment...

Bury Choral Society (BCS) has been singing great choral music for a long time; founded in 1838, we are one of the country’s longest established choral societies.
We sing a classical repertoire, from William Byrd to today’s composers, performing four concerts over the season, including our very popular Christmas Festivities; we are usually accompanied by the Bury Camerata and/or our super pianist or organist.
There are also occasional other concerts and events such as Come and Sing! and compact concerts, a one hour concert “out of town” on a Sunday afternoon, and charity sing-outs.
We are a mixed voice adult choir, with some 70 amateur singers from many different walks of life who are all passionate about singing.
