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:
EIN DEUTSCHES
REQUIEM
Brahms
SERENADE no. 6 in D MAJOR
‘SERENATA NOTTURNA’
MOZART
Saturday 25th April 2026
St Peter’s Church, High Street, Berkhamsted HP4 2AX
7:30pm
Johannes Brahms’ German Requiem is one of the most beautiful and spiritual works of the 19th century. Drawing on a range of texts from the German Lutheran bible that focus on spiritual healing, it was written to give comfort to the living rather than serve as a prayer for the dead. Berkhamsted Choral Society and our conductor Graham Wili will be joined by soprano Elen Lloyd Roberts, baritone Dyfed Wynn Evans and English Philharmonia to perform this profound piece of music in St Peter’s Church.
Tickets are £20 in advance from Ticket Tailor (18-25’s £10 and under 18’s free) and £22 on the door – just click on the link below!
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.
