The Choir

Hallam Choral Society is an established choir striving towards excellence in performance. Our membership is diverse and currently at over eighty singers, who come from across the city and beyond to perform four or five public concerts a year with an eclectic mix of music.

The choir usually perform concerts of sacred music, lighter music in the summer, and both traditional carols and other festive choral music at Christmas.

Performances are accompanied by professional pianists, organists or orchestral players to suit the work being performed, and where soloists are needed the society strives to employ professionals of the highest standard.

In a time when many choirs are getting progressively older and struggling to recruit young singers, Hallam Choral Society is proud to be attracting more and more young people to its ranks. This is thanks in part, to a forward thinking Young Singers Policy.

To celebrate its 2009-10, 40th Anniversary season, the choir has already performed Elijah, and a Spring Spectacular and is looking forward to completing its anniversary year with Carmina Burana, in the wonderful setting of St John’s Church in Ranmoor, Sheffield.
