Minehead & District Choral Society

Welcome to the Minehead & District Choral Society!

Introduction

We are a large, friendly choir based in Minehead, West Somerset, who enjoy singing a wide range of choral music, from great classics such as "Messiah" to modern works including the incredible "Armed Man" by Karl Jenkins.

We are always happy to welcome new members, whether or not they can read music. No audition is needed!  Our aim is to have fun making quality music together and all we ask for is a good voice, enthusiasm and a sense of humour! 

Our concert season normally includes an Autumn/ Christmas concert and a Spring/Easter concert in Minehead, each preceded by approximately 10 weekly rehearsals.  

Concerts are normally held in the Methodist Church, The Avenue, Minehead, starting at 7.30pm.  You can buy tickets at the door, but usually they are also available in advance from the Regal Theatre, and if you have a prepaid ticket , feel free to by-pass the queue of those who are needing to pay on the day.

"Such a friendly, welcoming choir, with a brilliant musical director and accompanist enabling us to sing some of the most wonderful music in the world."
"Leap and sing in all you do – come and join MCS!"
 “I have enjoyed participating in choral singing for several decades. The stimulus of exploring great music via sight reading the music and pulling together with other parts is always challenging and very enjoyable. Working towards the concert performance is an experience really worth having. Many joyous moments had over the years. Thanks to everyone involved "
“Challenging , hardwork, but great fun. So worthwhile”
"I thoroughly enjoy singing with the choir. A friendly and talented group with a great leader and accompanist. Of course the wonderful concerts with the soloists and sometimes orchestra. The works can be quite challenging to learn, especially the high notes!!"
“I enjoy singing classical works. No other choir does this in the area. The conducting by Marcus and piano accompaniment by Angela is excellent. The concerts are brilliant with top national / international soloists which are very much appreciated by the audience. The orchestra is excellent.”
"Friendship and fellowship through making music together”
“Really challenging but so rewarding. A great confidence boost.”
“I always feel more cheerful after a rehearsal than when I arrive”
