Messiah Workshop, Saturday 13 June 2026

We had a really great afternoon at our Messiah Choral Workshop. We were really pleased to have so many visiting singers and we made a surprisingly good attempt at some of the more difficult choruses and, of course, the Hallelujah Chorus. The cakes in the interval were delicious - thank you to all our cake chefs!
Thank you also to David Bednall our Musical director and Rowan Vince our accompanist for their inspirational leadership of a group of singers of varied experience of choral singing and of Messiah in particular. 

We break for the summer now and will return on Tuesday September 8th ready to rehearse in detail for our concert on 28th November. If you would like to join us details can be found here

Spring 2025 - Elgar Dream of Gerontius

Months of rehearsal, first by ourselves in Bishop Sutton, and then with Nailsea Choral Society in Nailsea, resulted in a fabulous performance of Elgar's Dream of Gerontius in Clifton Cathedral on 17th May 2025. 

Nailsea Choral Society have worked for three years to raise funds to put together this event which celibrated their centenary. We were delighted to be asked to join them to perform a piece beyond the normal repertoire for a choir of the size of CVCS.
