Stratford Choral Society celebrates the best of choral traditions
Our Choral Society performs both modern and classical choral works to a high standard, delivering three or four concerts a year.
Under the direction of our dynamic music director Oliver Neal Parker, we perform with some of Britain’s finest up-and-coming soloists and with the Regency Sinfonia which together make our concerts inspiring occasions.
Our 2024-25 season opened with a concert on 16th November when we performed Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle. You can read more about it here.
We continue the season with a Christmas performance of Handel’s Messiah, always a joy to sing. Then in March we will sing the St John's Passion by J.S. Bach. This is a monumental work and, for the first time ever, the choir will be accompanied by an orchestra playing period insruments.
For our June concerts, we turn to lighter programmes. In 2022, we sang a wonderful selection of madrigals. In 2023, we performed Shakespeare-themed songs including works by 20th century composers such as Bob Chilcott and William Walton, and a jazzy compilation by George Shearing. You can read a review on our News and Reviews page.
