The Northampton Bach Choir is one of the foremost choruses in
the region, and the largest choir in the county, numbering some 130
singers. It owes its formation to Denys Pouncey, a former organist of St Matthew’s Church, giving its first concert there on Palm Sunday 1935. During its time it has nurtured a series of young, enthusiastic, not to say visionary, musical directors, many of whom have gone on to forge careers of national and international significance.... |
After our fabulous Viva Italia concert on the 24th of June we have a summer break. We look forward to starting rehearsals again in September, with our new musical director Simon Toyne, for Haydn's Creation which will be performed at St Matthew's Church on Friday 27th October. Our popular Christmas concert will be on Saturday 16th December at 7pm. We hope to welcome you to one or both of these concerts. | |||

We are proud to be the largest choir in the region, and we are
particularly keen to welcome new members at the start of each season
in September. However, it is also possible to join during the year,
ideally by coming along to the first rehearsal after a concert so
that you can sing in the next concert. Rehearsals are on Mondays and
start at 7.30pm. If you would like to join the choir please
contact our membership secretary for
more information. |
Becoming a ‘Friend’ of the Northampton Bach Choir is the perfect way
to support the great tradition of live music-making in our county.
For as little as £25 per annum, ‘Friends’ receive advance
notification of forthcoming performances, and priority booking for
our own concerts. The choir’s regular concert venue is St Matthew’s
Church on the Kettering Road, Northampton, and only ‘Friends’ of the
choir are entitled to allocated seating... |
