Birmingham Bach Choir, led by Music Director Paul Spicer, gives inspiring performances throughout the Midlands, with a distinctive mix of choral music accompanied by baroque orchestra, organ or a cappella.
Our repertoire spans six centuries but especially the music of JS Bach, the Baroque period and contemporary British choral music.
2026 kicked off with our joyful Come and Sing! of Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise in January, Sutton Coldfield , followed by a wonderful concert programme of sacred music in St Chad’s Cathedral, Birmingham. Our next concert is an afternoon summer date with Shakespeare songs and Elizabeth I in Bridgnorth 4 July, and followed in November by Vaughan William's Mass in G Minor plus Parry Songs of Farewell at Bournville. We finish the year with our traditional Service of Nine Lessons and Carols in St Alban’s, Birmingham on 13 December.
Last year’s programme included Bach’s Mass in B Minor (Lichfield Cathedral), Fauré’s Requiem in a programme of French music (Malvern Priory) and a programme celebrating Rutter’s 80th birthday (Birmingham).
Next year we have a varied programme including Brahms Requiem (for our Come & Sing), Mozart’s Mass in C Minor, a delicious programme of English songs, and a Bach autumn concert
