End of Season

30-04-2012

We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who came and supported us at our recent Spring Concert and we hope you enjoyed hearing us. We enjoyed performing what we felt was a good mix of well known choral classics spanning the Classical and Romantic eras. As ever, thank you for all your encouraging comments afterwards.

Bridge of Weir Choral is now enjoying a well earned break and will regroup, refreshed, in September, ready to prepare for our new season. If you feel inspired to join us, please do get in touch - see our contacts page or phone Peter on 01505 872448.

In the meantime, we hope you all enjoy a good spring and summer.

Welcome

Founded in 1948, Bridge of Weir Choral Society is a group of around 60 singers (SATB) of all ages and abilities from around the Gryffe Valley area.

New members are always welcome to join - especially basses currently! We rehearse in Kilmacolm on Tuesday evenings from September to April and perform 2 concerts each year.

Our Christmas concert is very much part local community's festive season, and we perform a mixture of well-loved Christmas favourites as well as less well-known music. We are joined each year by different musical ensembles and instrumentalists, and have welcomed brass groups, handbell players and local school choirs among others in recent years. Our Spring features larger choral works, again with a balance of choral favourites and less familiar works. A highlight of recent years was a joint performance of Verdi's Requiem in Greenock Town Hall with the Greenock Philharmonic Choir and members of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
