The Bach Choir has been described by one London critic as ‘probably the finest independent choir in the world’. For almost 140 years we have championed the greatest choral music, bringing neglected works to a new audience, performing well-loved favourites, and keeping our choral heritage alive by commissioning new music from leading composers.
But with more than 220 singers and huge ambitions, it is increasingly costly to keep performing. Our generous singing and associate members pay a hefty annual subscription but this barely covers our operating costs. Music hire, performing rights, rehearsal and performance venues, education work, recording and touring cost thousands of pounds a year – and we need your help to fund this range of activity.
Any donation, no matter how small, can support a young people’s workshop, enable a recording of unduly neglected repertoire or simply contribute to our everyday costs. Your generosity means we can to continue to perform with our trademark artistic excellence - and continue to thrive for the next 140 years.
Thank you.
