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.

Under the enthusiastic direction of John Dunford, who has been our Music Director since 1993, 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.
