Join Youth or Children's Choir
We are one of the oldest amateur choirs in the UK, performing in front of audiences in Stroud and beyond since 1834. Stroud Choral Society comprises an adult choir of around 120 members and children's and youth choirs of around 50 members. We perform at least four concerts each year in and around Stroud, including Cirencester, Nailsworth, Minchinhampton, Tewkesbury and other venues. For details of all our concerts since 2000 click here.
Our spring concert 2025 was a hugely successful performance of Handel's rarely heard dramatic oratorio Samson , featuring full orchestra and six soloists. We are now rehearsing for our summer concert when we we will be joined by the Youth Choir for a varied programme, including:
- William Mathias: Shakespeare Songs
- Bob Chilcott: Dances of Time
- Eric Whitacre: Hebrew Love Songs
- John Rutter: The Heavenly Aeroplane
Our Children's Choir (the Minpins) and our Youth Choir are celebrating their 10th Anniversary with a special concert on Saturday 5th April, 6.30pm at St George's Church, Nailsworth, including the first performance of a new commission.
