Welcome to ... burybachchoir
Our next concert is Bach's St Matthew Passion. It's in St Edmundsbury Cathedral on Saturday 6 April 2019, starting at 6.30pm.
This truly magnificent work is widely regarded as Bach's greatest masterpiece, and we are delighted to be able to bring it to Bury St Edmunds.
For full details and to buy tickets, click here. You can book unreserved tickets at £16 and £21 by clicking the appropriate seating area on the seating plan. By arriving at the cathedral at least 20 minutes before the start time you should be in good time to sit in the unreserved seats of your choice in the area you've booked. Note that the £21 seating areas are further forward and have the best view.
The Bury St Edmunds Bach Choir, known to all as the Bury Bach Choir, was founded in 1932 to perform the great choral masterpieces, and is proud of its history and its central position in the cultural life of Bury St Edmunds. It was recently described by the East Anglian Daily Times as “a treasure for the town”. We celebrate our 86th birthday in 2018.
We give three major concerts each year with full professional orchestra and soloists, and also give a Christmas concert. Whether you are a choral music afficionado, or have just discovered classical music, you can enjoy the thrill of live music by coming to our concerts.
For details of our forthcoming concerts, and how to get tickets, go to the concerts section of this website. Our concerts are very popular, with audiences in excess of 400, so you need to book early to get the best seats.
