Welcome to Harrogate Choral Society

Harrogate Choral Society is a long-established, friendly, mixed-voice choir, based in the Spa town of Harrogate. In May 1948 the choir sang Mendelssohn's Elijah to celebrate the formation of the Society. Over the years, our membership and repertoire have grown. We now have around 160 singers, of all ages, who are particularly delighted to work with our Music Director, Dr Andrew Padmore, who joined us in September 2005. We sing, on average, four concerts per season, performed mainly in the magnificent settings of the Royal Hall, Harrogate, and Ripon Cathedral. We work with a number of notable orchestras including Manchester Camerata. In 2008-2009 we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee Season.

We hope you will find our website useful and that the information might interest you in becoming involved with the Harrogate Choral Society. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
