Hailsham Choral Society

Next concert: Bach Christmas Oratorio Parts I, II & III.

Saturday 7th December 2024 at 7.30pm

This year we are performing Bach’s Christmas Oratorio Parts I, II & III in early December. We're excited to sing this great work, with four exciting professional soloists and an orchestra playing on authentic period instruments. This festive masterpiece tells the Christmas story in rousing choruses, beautiful chorales and arias. The programme also includes Corelli's Christmas concerto for strings. Join us for what promises to be a memorable evening.

At Christmas every year we invite the audience to support a local charity. This year we have chosen the Children With Cancer Fund, a charity which helps children up to the age of eighteen, and their families, who have, or have had, cancer and who primarily live in East Sussex, Brighton and Hove.

About us

We are a choir of about 60 singers based in Hailsham, East Sussex.

You can find references to a choral group in Hailsham from the early 1930s, but it faded from view during the war - they probably had even more troubles recruiting tenors and basses then! The present Society was founded in 1961 and still going from strength to strength.

We perform at least four main concerts during the year, with programmes featuring anything from Bach (Christmas Oratorio, St. John Passion) to Beatles, Rossini (Petite Messe Solennelle) to Gershwin, Rutter (Requiem, Magnificat, carols) to Rogers and Hart.

We’re a sociable lot too, music workshops, coffee mornings, quizzes, even the odd pint of beer or glass of wine (or two)!

If you’re looking for a fast way to increase your circle of friends, as well as an opportunity to sing hugely enjoyable music go to the ‘Join Us’ page.
