Sidmouth Choral Society is an amateur choir based in Sidmouth, Devon. We were founded in 1856 and perform two major concerts per year, one in the Spring and the other in December.
We are a friendly group of around 60 singers, meeting one evening per week for about 10 weeks before each concert.
Would you like to join us? We welcome new members. There is no audition, though some ability to sing and read music is an advantage. Some of our new members had never sung in a choir before, and we are happy to help you to find your voice.
The annual membership fee is £40.00
If you are interested please call Andrew Scott on 01395 519797 or Pat Bosshardt on 01395 515608

The second half included extracts from Edward German's comic opera "Merrie England", first performed in 1902, a patriotic story concerning love and rivalries at the court of Queen Elizabeth I. ----------------
