Now that Covid restrictions are being lifted, we are looking at our options for restarting rehearsals and performances as soon as possible.
We very much hope that we can resume singing together in September 2021, with a performance on Saturday 4th December of Handel's Messiah.
We will update this page as soon as firm plans can be made.
Welcome!
North Devon Choral Society was founded in 1952, and is a thriving, friendly choir that performs at least three concerts a year with top class soloists and accompanists, and at least one with a professional orchestra. Have a look at the list on our Concert Archive to see the kind of music we sing.
Concerts are performed throughout North Devon, mainly in Torrington, Braunton and Barnstaple. We aim to use an orchestra at least once a year, and at Torrington Parish Church (St Michael and All Angels) we also have the benefit of their excellent Father Willis organ dating from 1864. Every three years or so, we combine with Bude Choral Society and South Devon Choir to perform a joint concert in Barnstaple and Torbay.
John Hobbs has been our Music Director since 2002, and we are delighted that Peter Clarke has been appointed in 2018 as our Rehearsal Accompanist. You will find details of John Hobbs and we welcome Lorraine Homewood as our Rehearsal Pianist.
Our membership includes over 140 singers and we are always pleased to welcome new members. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings between 7.30 and 9.30pm at Christ Church, Bear Street, Barnstaple. If you are interested, please see our Join Us page.
