About the choir
Derby Bach Choir has been part of the city’s musical life for over 60 years and is recognised
as one of the leading choirs in the East Midlands. Our singers rehearse each week to
continue our traditions of a high choral standard, and perform major works alongside
professional orchestras and soloists.
We take real pride in the quality of what we bring to the stage – and in keeping live choral
music thriving here in Derby.
What our concerts offer
Special evening out
This is an opportunity to do something different and
turn an ordinary Saturday into something extraordinary.
A rare chance to hear live choral music
Hear beautiful Italian classics sung for you live in a
unique local venue. The perfect opportunity to take a break from the pace of modern life and experience
something in the moment.
Our members say

“I keep catching myself humming bits of the music around the house. It’s such fun to sing!”
“The music makes me happy every time I sing it. Warm, expressive, full of feeling – exactly the kind of music you want to share with an audience.”
