About us |
Yate Choral Society is a mixed choir with over 50 members which was
formed over forty years ago. Geoffrey
Wickham and his wife Hazel have been Musical Director and Accompanist respectively
for all but the first two years of the choirs existence. We sing a varied programme performing at
various public concerts throughout the year and have raised several thousands
of pounds for charity during the lifetime of the choir. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings
during term time at North Road Primary School Yate starting at 7.30p.m. The current subscription rate is £52 per annum but this can be paid half
yearly by 1st April and 1st October. A reduced subscription applies to
married couples or co-habiting partners of £49 per annum per person. We welcome new members of all ages
and voices and currently have vacancies for Tenors. Associate membership of the choir is also available. For a donation of £20 a year you will be
entitled to a complimentary ticket to our main concert of the year and your
generous support will be acknowledged in our concert programmes. If you wish to become an Associate member
