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 to 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 very special musical occasions.
Our 2024-25 season opens with a concert on 16th Novemebr when we will perform 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. And then a very special concert in March when we will sing the St John's Passion by JS Bach. This is a monumental work, and for the first time ever the choir will be accompanied by an orchestra with period insruments.
For a couple of years we have been trying out some lighter programmes for a summer concert. Last summer we performed a programme of Shakespeare-themed songs including songs 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.
