I am pleased to welcome you to the Pershore Choral website. Your committee and I hope that you will find it informative and useful.

Often, as I struggle to learn a new piece of music and make sense of a particularly difficult rhythm, I find myself looking around at other choir members and wondering why it is that we pay good money to sing in 'our choir"? I have never come up with a straightforward answer. Perhaps we sing because we have a love of great choral works and love the thrill of performing them?

Perhaps it’s the challenge of mastering the technical and artistic complexities of unfamiliar music combined with the satisfaction of being part of team of like minded people who strive to 'get it right on the night"? Whatever our reason or reasons there is no doubt that we all give our time and subscriptions for the sheer pleasure of keeping alive our local choral tradition. We enjoy performing for the people of Pershore and the surrounding areas and of course for ourselves.

Our musical director, Carleton Etherington, is only the fifth person to wield the conductor's baton in our fifty year history. His patient, weekly coaching helps us to improve and tackle the most difficult of choral works.

Behind the scenes we have a hard working committee and a group of loyal friends who ensure that our concerts are well organised and provide an evening of trouble free entertainment for our audience and all of us.

I hope you enjoy this venture onto the ‘world wide web’ and will return many times to find out what is happening at Pershore Choral.

Ron Haden. Chairman.
