Aylesbury Choral Society

We sing a wide range of choral music at our two main concerts, at Christmas and Easter. We often put on summer concerts with a smaller choir, where the repertoire is lighter and more along a theme of "music for a summer's evening". Naturally, we also sing carols at Christmas!

Forthcoming Concerts

Our next concert will be on Saturday 21 June in St Mary's Church, and will be a Summer Charity Concert in aid of Aylesbury Methodist Church where we hold most of our rehearsals:

Samuel Wesley (1766 - 1837) Excerpts from Missa de Spiritu Sancto
Samuel S Wesley (1810 - 1876) "Thou wilt keep him"
  "Blessed be the God and Father"
 
Audience Hymns by members of the Wesley family
