Bury Bach Choir offers competent singers the opportunity to rehearse with our experienced and talented Music Director Philip Reed and to perform a wide range of music with professional soloists and orchestra in a variety of venues.

We'd love you to join us.

We rehearse on Wednesday evenings for two hours from 7:30 pm at the Lower Hall, King Edward VI School, Spring Lane, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 3BH, between September and June.

On average we have 8 rehearsals for each concert.

If you think you would like to sing with the Choir, you are very welcome to contact our New Members' Secretary who can arrange for you to come to one of our rehearsals to see if you like us. After two or three rehearsals you will be asked to take a simple voice check with Philip. If he is happy then you will be invited to become a member of the Bury Bach Choir. The voice check is quick and easy, requires no preparation and is mainly so that Philip can be sure you are put in the right section of the choir for your voice.  All choir members take a voice check every five years as sometimes, over time, a singer's range drops (it rarely goes up!)

We welcome singers of all ages and offer reduced subscriptions for members under the age of 26.

The 2020/21 season has been disrupted by the coronavirus situation, so there is no concert in November 2020 nor March 2021.  We are hoping to be able to start rehearsing again in April, if the situation allows.  Do contact me, Linda, and I'll keep you up to date with what's happening.

* When finding us for the first time, please note that there are two entrances to King Edward VI School (Grove Road and Spring Lane), and we use the entrance off Spring Lane.  To get there, go north (downhill) on Parkway from the Risbygate/Parkway roundabout, then turn left into Springfield Road (just after the fire station). Veer slightly right into Spring Lane at the first junction, then follow Spring Lane round a right angle bend to the left.  The school entrance is on your right.  You can park in the first car park on your right, then find us through the main door, which is up beyond the small car park you’ve just passed on your left.
