Join Youth or Children's Choir
We are one of the oldest amateur choirs in the UK, performing in front of audiences in Stroud and beyond since 1834. Stroud Choral Society comprises an adult choir of around 120 members and children's and youth choirs of around 50 members. We perform at least four concerts each year in and around Stroud, including Cirencester, Nailsworth, Minchinhampton, Tewkesbury and other venues. For details of all our concerts since 2000 click here.
Our next concert will be on Saturday 15th November, 7pm, in Tewkesbury Abbey.
Edward Elgar's The Dream Of Gerontius is an emotionally-powerful setting of Cardinal Newman's poem about the journey of an ordinary human soul through death towards judgment before their God. First performed in Birmingham Town Hall in 1900, it is now widely considered one of the great choral masterpieces, scored for full orchestra, three soloists, and a large choir.
