Founded in 1980 the Elgar Chorale is one of the leading chamber choirs in the West Midlands. We are a mixed voice choir of about 40 singers, many of us professional musicians, based in Worcester. We have a busy and varied programme of concerts taking place around Worcestershire and beyond. Our repertoire ranges from medieval to the modern day, from unaccompanied to with a small orchestra. The choir sings at many events to raise money for charity.
Our Next Event
Stars & Stripes – Saturday, 30th June, 2018 at 7.30pm
A concert of American Music, including items such as close harmony arrangements of Moon River and Pink Panther at St John’s Bedwardine Parish Church, St John’s Worcester.
From the original European settlers and their use of music for entertainment and worship, the indigenous Indian music, the slave songs with their ancestry in African rhythms and tunes, American music has many forebears. From these beginnings, the music of present day America is rich in different genres, with spirituals, jazz, ragtime, blues and more conventional classical themes. This concert will give just a small example of some of this music, from Aaron Copeland’s Four Motets and Four American songs to close harmony arrangements of favourites such as Moon River and Pink Panther. Tickets will be available in the new year, but do put the date and time in your diary now.
Saturday, 30th June 2018, at 7.30pm in St John’s Church, Bedwardine.
Tickets will be available shortly!
