Corsham Choral Society
The Society is based in the North Wiltshire town of Corsham. We have about 60 members drawn from the town itself and the surrounding area which embraces Bath, Chippenham and Melksham. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 7.30 to 9.30 in Corsham Town Hall where we also perform our smaller scale concerts. Concerts on a larger scale are performed in nearby venues such as St Bartholomew's Church in Corsham.
We are on the lookout for new members, particularly tenors and basses, and invite anyone who is interested in joining us to contact our Membership Secretary, Margaret Waters. An ability to read music is not essential but it would be an advantage. We do not require new members to audition though the final decision on whether a potential member is suitable to become a singing member rests with our Musical Director. The cost of membership is £90.00 for the complete season (September to June), discounted for prompt payment.
Our energetic committee is chaired by Helen Snowball and we sing under the inspirational leadership of Colin Howard. Colin is a much experienced conductor who first learned his craft under Vernon Handley at the R.C.M. He also has the inestimable advantage for a choral conductor of being a most accomplished vocalist himself.
We perform 3, occasionally 4, concerts each year with music from a wide spectrum of the choral repertoire. Our concert programme in the 2009/2010 season has included works by Faure, Arthur Bliss, Haydn and Joseph Horovitz. We aim to provide something for everyone to enjoy.
