Welcome
"Where some amateur choruses can give the impression of dutiful performers, how heartening it was to see singers of all ages who clearly adore singing."
Welcome to Wimbledon Choral Society and our website. We are a choir of 180 or so members drawn from a wide range of ages, professions and backgrounds, and have a reputation for giving concerts of the highest quality presented with professional soloists and orchestras. Click
here to read some of the
feedback we've had about our performances.
The season runs from September to June and typically consists of three main concerts in major venues in and around London and a local Christmas concert in the Wimbledon area. As well as promoting its own concerts, the choir is invited regularly to participate in other events with several of Britain’s leading orchestras and in collaboration with other choirs. The 2018/19 season starts on Monday 3rd September. See our
Join Us page for further details of when potential new members would be welcome to come along.
Concerts in the 2018/19 season find us in Cadogan Hall for Bach's majestic Mass in B Minor with Florilegium and in a local Wimbledon venue for a concert of American music, including a performance of Bernstein's Clarinet Sonata. The big event of the season, though, is a return to the Royal Festival Hall for the world premiere of the WCS-commissioned Da Vinci Requiem by Cecilia McDowall. Something for everyone.
Making its return this year is the Merton SingFest. Please read
