Bristol Bach Choir Home Page

Recent tributes from concert-goers:

"Absolutely stunning. I have never felt terribly enthusiastic about the Monteverdi Vespers up to now but last night's performance was a revelation - soloists, band, conductor and above all the choir just superb." (March 2010)

"The music and singing were spell binding for me. A really classy and top quality performance." (Christmas 2009)

"We enjoyed the concert immensely - but, if we had to choose one piece it must be 'Sleep', not only for the excellent musicianship, but the superb way that the choir faded away to almost nothing (yet we could still hear the words)." (November 2009)

"... the choir performed these demanding works splendidly. I was particularly impressed by the harmonic quality of the ladies voices... " (November 2009)

Web Site Redesign

Our web site is in the process of being redesigned ready for the start of next season.

It will have a fresher look and feel and will contain several new features which we hope will appeal, while retaining all the elements of the present site which have been most favorably received.
