CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF SINGING IN HOLYMOORSIDE

Holymoorside Choral Society was first formed in 1941 as a village choir.  The tradition of singing a wide variety of music at local events and raising money for charity was established then, and has continued to the present day.

Today we are a choir of more than 40 members who enjoy meeting together on Thursday evenings at 7.30 pm for rehearsals in the United Reformed Church at Holymoorside village, 3 miles SW of Chesterfield  in Derbyshire.  We perform three main concerts each year and work hard to achieve high standards within a wide repertoire, including music from traditional to modern classics, from sacred and oratorio pieces to folk and show songs.

In recent years we have performed Faure's Requiem, Vivaldi's Gloria, 'The Armed Man' and 'Requiem' by Karl Jenkins, the song cycles 'A Sprig of Thyme' and 'Feel the Spirit by John  Rutter, 'A little Jazz Mass' and 'I Share Creation' by Bob Chilcott.  

New members are always welcome. 

It is not essential to be able to sight read music, only to have an ability to learn and sing in parts, as help and encouragement is always available with learning CD’s provided for learning at home.
