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.

Our 93rd season showcases a fascinating cross-section of European choral composition, with something to suit almost any taste. Download our brochure for 2011 - 2012 here.

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.

Remembering Richard Butt
Richard Butt, who died on 12 October 2010, was conductor of our choir from 1966 - 1992. Read some of the many tributes here.
