Established in about 1863, Weymouth Choral Society is a Registered Charity and is a group of enthusiastic amateur singers who perform three or four concerts in Weymouth each year, usually at Holy Trinity Church, Weymouth. Map
The Society's Musical Director, Helen Brind, ensures that the members perform a wide variety of music to suit all tastes.
The Spring concert is normally a Requiem or programme of solemn music but the Summer concert is a variety of lighter music; often folk songs or music from the shows or, perhaps, popular arias from operas, in fact, an ideal taster for those who are new to choral music.
The Autumn concert content varies but often takes the form of The Messiah for Hospices where the proceeds go to local hospice charities.
The Christmas concert features seasonal music and carols and the Society members are often joined by children to enhance the Christmas message.
In addition to the regular concerts, some members also take part in The Festival of the Voice at Stourhead, the Singday with the Really Big Chorus at The Royal Albert Hall, carol singing in Weymouth's Brewers Quay and at the switching-on of the Christmas lights and, occasionally, weddings and other social functions. In May 2010, as part of The Dorset Guild of Singers, some members performed Bach's St John Passion at The Lighthouse in Poole.
