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 92nd season is packed with music to inspire and lift the spirit. Our new brochure for 2010 - 2011 will be available soon.

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.
