Welcome to BCS!
We are a very friendly mixed voice choir of nearly 90 singers based in the Hertfordshire town of Berkhamsted. New members are always welcome!
Our next event:
Come and Sing!
REQUIEM
Fauré
ZADOK THE PRIEST
Handel
Saturday 7th February 2026
St Peter’s Church, High Street, Berkhamsted HP4 2AX
9:30 for 10am start – 4:15pm
Join Berkhamsted Choral Society for a workshop singing the choruses from Fauré’s Requiem (Novello edition) and Handel’s glorious Coronation Anthem, Zadok the Priest, led by Graham Wili and accompanied by our expert pianist Fei Ren.
Doors will open at 9:30am for a 10am start, with a free informal concert for friends and family at around 3:30pm and a 4:15pm finish. Tea, coffee and our usual excellent selection of cake will all be on sale (you’ll need to bring your own lunch!) and music will be available to borrow for the day, although you are welcome to bring your own copy if you prefer.
This event is for everyone, from experienced singers who may be familiar with the works to those who would like to give choral singing a go in an informal and friendly atmosphere. You may even be inspired to join the choir!
Come and join us!
Rehearsals on Tuesdays
8pm – 10pm
Swing Gate Infant School
Berkhamsted

Our members come from all walks of life and bring with them a wide range of experience, from lifelong choral singers to those who have never been in a choir before. Together we work hard to perform three fantastic concerts per year with professional soloists and musicians – in spring, autumn and of course at Christmas! There is also the opportunity to join a three-concert tour every August, either in Europe or the UK.
We don’t audition and no experience is necessary, just a love of music and an interest in singing. So whether you have sung in many choirs, sang in a choir at school or you’d just like to give it a try, contact us to find out more!
The best time to join is at the beginning of rehearsals for the next concert (usually in January, April or September), but let us know if you want to join in between. In Spring 2026 we will be performing Ein Deutsches Requiem by Brahms, with rehearsals beginning on Tuesday 6th January.
