Wetherby Choral Society

Wetherby Choral Society was founded in 1974 and has over 100 members. Our weekly rehearsals are friendly and informal. We are a community choir and strive for high standards of performance.

We welcome our new Music Director, Charlie Murray, from the start of our 2025/6 season. Under the enthusiastic direction of John Dunford, who was our Music Director for the previous 32 years, we have covered a wide range of music encompassing most familiar choral works - and some not so often heard. From Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 to Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man, via works by, among many others, Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Brahms, Fauré, Rossini, Schubert, Finzi, Puccini, Orff, John Rutter, and, of course, Handel.

We aim to put on four major concerts a year, normally at our home venue of St James' Church, Wetherby.
