Choir gave its inaugural concert in March 1924 with a performance of Bach's
St Matthew Passion which, along with Bach's other major choral works,
the choir still regularly performs.The choir presents a wide variety of music in its concert programmes, whilst continuing to perform the major works in the choral repertoire. Christmas concerts in aid of charity are given every year and the choir has featured on a CD of Christmas music.  The choir engages soloists and orchestras of the highest calibre,
but also has a tradition of engaging young singers, many of whom have since
developed international careers. The choir
is privileged to perform in the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St
Alban, as it has since its inception. In keeping with tradition, Andrew Lucas, the Cathedral's Master of the
Music, is the choir's Music Director. Peter Holder, Organ Scholar at the
Cathedral, is the choir's accompanist.St Albans Bach Choir is a member of Making Music. Please help to support the choir by placing your Amazon orders via this link: |
