Welcome to the website of THE Bath Chorus!
The Bath Chorus always welcomes potential new singers at every rehearsal so if you would like to know more about the leading mixed-voice choir in the West - please come along to any Monday evening rehearsal at St Barts in Oldfield Park and introduce yourself to Grenville - you are assured of a warm welcome!
As you can see from our many pictures, we are a large mixed-voice choir based in the City of Bath. The founder conductor of the Bath Chorus is one of the West Country's leading musicians, Grenville Jones. We are an auditioned choir. If you have just moved to the area and are looking for a new choir to join, then we could be the choir for you!]
The Bath Chorus is a mixed-voice choir which was founded by Grenville Jones in 2009. Grenville had been leading choirs in the Bath area for many years and when he announced his decision to form a new mixed-group in the City over 150 people auditioned over a long weekend.
Since that time the choir have established themselves as one of the leading groups from the West Country. The Bath Chorus is an auditioned choir and the members come from in and around the Bath area with over seventy singers. The Bath Chorus has always included students who are studying in the City as well as ‘new comers’ to Bath who find the Bath Chorus when they search for a new choir to join!
The choir has an extensive repertoire and in the past has performed regularly at Bath Abbey as well as many other local churches and concert venues in the West Country. They have performed at Coventry Cathedral and one of the highlights of recent years was a memorable concert with the RAF Central Band supporting the Help for Heroes Charity. It has also appeared with Aled Jones and last year (2017), together with the City of Bath Male Choir (also conducted by Grenville Jones) helped to raise over £12,000 for the British Heart Foundation following the untimely death of a member of both choirs.
The choir has supported the National Osteoporosis Society’s Christmas concerts in recent years and is looking forward to the return visit of Aled Jones to Bath on September 8th.
Regular appearances at Bath Festival’s ‘Party in the City’ as well as joint concerts with many other groups has contributed to the reputation of the Bath Chorus as being one of the friendliest and best supportive choirs in the City of Bath.
Founder Grenville Jones has appeared on radio and television across the world. He is the founder of the Golden-Oldies Charity (not a choir) but brings music and fun to older isolated people across England and Wales. Under his musical umbrella are the nine Good Afternoon Choirs, The City of Bath Male Choir who reached finals of the BBC’s Last Choir Standing series and his ever growing community choir the Bath Welcome Choir. Earlier this year he was one of the 100 judges on the BBCs popular Saturday evening series ‘All Together Now’.
