Welcome to the web-site of Didcot Choral Society.

We are a mixed voice choir of around 70 singers, drawn from Didcot and surrounding towns and villages. We work with a number of local groups and orchestras, and have a close relationship with the Isis Chamber Orchestra. We perform a wide range of music throughout the year and we are committed to contributing to the musical and cultural life of the area. Our current Musical Director is Robert Legg.

We rehearse on Tuesday evenings from 7.30pm in St Peter’s Church, Newlands Avenue, Didcot.

2008 was our Golden Jubilee year, and in June we celebrated with a Gala concert in the presence of many previous members and conductors, with the Rt Hon Ed Vaizey as our special guest.

ON TOUR

In July 2008 we marked this special year with our first international tour, performing three concerts in and around Paris.  

For the 2009 we will be visiting Belgium and singing three concerts in and around Bruges.

Our next concert:
Verdi Requiem
(with Abingdon and District Music Society)
Conducted by Alex Walker

Performed  with full orchestra and the massed choirs of ADMS and DCS, Verdi’s Requiem was completed to mark the first anniversary of the death of Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni, whom Verdi much admired.

This year our summer concert will be a joint performance (with Abingdon and District Music Society) of the choral masterpiece Verdi Requiem, with more than a hundred singers and full orchestra, in the Silk Hall of Radley College . Rehearsals for our summer concert will begin on Tuesday 10th March 2009.
