More information
The final Tuesday rehearsal before our April concert is on Tuesday 23rd April 2024 in Hillside Parish Church. Please keep working on the items listed by Paul for homework over Easter as well as any other areas you have identified as needing work.
We will rehearse the second half of the programme, and cover any items from the first half which Paul judges to need more work. The rehearsal from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday 27th April, in Hillside Parish Church with orchestra, will cover all the choruses. The final rehearsal from 2-5 p.m. is on Sunday 28th April in the Music Hall with orchestra and soloists, topping and tailing the choruses.
Welcome to Aberdeen Bach Choir’s website. We are a friendly, non-auditioning, mixed-voice choir, open to anyone aged 15 or over. Established for over 65 years, we have become one of the city’s most respected amateur choirs, performing a wide range of sacred choral music, with an emphasis on the works of J.S. Bach. We usually perform two concerts each year, in April and December, with professional soloists and musicians.
