Wigan Choral Society

Wigan Choral Society is an amateur group formed in 1933. The bedrock of Wigan Choral's repertoire has always been large-scale liturgical works, including Messiah, Creation, Elijah, and various masses and requiems. Other musical diversions have included folk songs, patriotic works, concert versions of operas (most recently Nabucco), shorter church music, songs from the shows and Christmas carol concerts.

We welcome applications from anyone interested in singing such a repertoire. There is no need to audition. Not all members are fluent at reading music, but some ability to sight-read is very useful. We tend to try to sight-read a piece on our first run-through, then break it down into segments to ensure everyone is hitting the right notes, so if we don't get it right the first time, we will by the end of the rehearsal.

Just come along to a rehearsal on a Monday night at 7.30 - 9.30 to try us out. We are currently rehearsing at St Stephen's Church, Whelley, Wigan WN1 3UT (in the church hall if it's cold).
