Birmingham's leading large chamber choir
The Birmingham Bach Choir has been making a major contribution
to the musical life of Birmingham since 1919. Our focus is on the music
of J S Bach and the Baroque period. We also perform music from all other
periods, especially 20th century British music.

history.
Our 93rd season showcases a fascinating cross-section of European
choral composition, with something to suit almost any taste. Download

Important New Commission for World War One Commemoration
2014 marks the centenary of the outbreak of the 1914-18 War. To commemorate
this event the Birmingham Bach Choir has commissioned the poet Euan
Tait and its own conductor/composer, Paul Spicer, to write a major
choral and orchestral work for performance in July 2014. The work
is called Unfinished Remembering and is planned as a choral symphony
(with soprano and baritone soloists) in four movements. In commemorating
the Great War, the work also commemorates all wars and, perhaps especially
those with which we have been recently involved in Iraq and Afghanistan:
more details here.
