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 Peter Clarke on our ABOUT Page.
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.
Our next concert of music by Bach and Vivaldi is on 14th December 2019 in the Church of St Michael and All Angels, Torrington at 7pm. The programmes consists of Bach Magnificat & Cantata 65 and Vivaldi Magnificat & Gloria. The soloists will be Lorna Anderson, Rebecca Smith, Arthur Swan and Darren Jeffrey and we will be accompanied by an orchestra.
Tickets for the concert will be available in November. Please visit our tickets page then for further details.
