The City of Birmingham Choir is passionate about great choral music.
Birmingham audiences have enjoyed our superb performances since our
foundation in 1921.

| Birmingham Town Hall |
Under
the baton of our inspirational conductor, Adrian Lucas, we have a wonderful
range of choral music concerts
for you to experience. The nautical
theme combined with Walt Whitman's poetry gives us Vaughan Williams'
epic A Sea Symphony and Delius' Sea Drift in our
November concert with the CBSO in the magnificent acoustics of
Symphony Hall.
As Christmas approaches, our acclaimed annual performances of
Handel's Messiah take us this year to both Symphony Hall
and Town Hall with the CBSO, and you can join our festive occasion
for choir, children's choir and brass in Christmas Celebrations.
In May, we sing a work by contemporary composer of great stature,
James MacMillan, with his Seven Last Words from the Cross,
in a concert that also features Fauré's ever-popular
Requiem (with the Orchestra of the Swan).
On this website, you can find more details of our concerts (including how to book tickets
and available discounts) and read press reviews, and even hear
a podcast of the choir in action. You can read about our successful
Voice Factory education
programme (now including free voice coaching for choir members),
find information for choir members and discover how
you could support the choir.
A choir of around 160 singers, we are always looking for new
members to join us. To find out more, please take a look at our
Join the Choir page. We're a
friendly choir with a manageable commitment for busy people.
We rehearse weekly in central Birmingham with our conductor on
Tuesdays - 6.30 to 8.30pm. As well as performing in Birmingham,
we have sung in Worcester Cathedral, Colston Hall Bristol and
Tewkesbury Abbey in recent seasons.
We will also be singing at the NEC Festive Gift Fair in November -
