We are a thriving and friendly mixed voice choir of around 130 singers, performing three or four times a year, usually in Bedford’s historic Corn Exchange and supported by a full orchestra and professional soloists.
As one of the country’s longest established choral societies, our repertoire reflects traditional choral music but we also sing more contemporary pieces.
We are always open to new members joining us – come along to one of our Monday evening rehearsals for a taster! Read more about joining us.

Bedford Choral Society is one of the oldest in the country. Founded in 1867 as Bedford Musical Society, we believe it to be the 7th oldest, equal with Edinburgh University Musical Society which dates from the same year.
Currently we have about 130 active members and have an open door to welcome any new singers interested in joining us. The music we sing includes the traditional choral repertoire of the great composers like Bach, Handel, Mozart, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Elgar.
Rehearsals take place each Monday evening from 7.15 to 9.15pm. As from Monday 4th September 2023 (start of autumn term) the rehearsals will be held at Biddenham International School (MK40 4AZ). Weekly rehearsals are scheduled throughout the year - apart from a short break during the late summer.
It’s a good idea to come to a rehearsal to get an idea of what it’s like to sing with us. So that we know to expect and welcome you, just drop an email in advance to our Chorus Secretary.
