Beaminster Singers formed after the cast of the 1987 Beaminster Community Play stayed together to sing. Since then, the group has become a feature of the town's musical life, giving two or three concerts a year in the town and surrounding villages.
Our next concert is on 25th May 2013 - Great Songs of Celebration. This concert celebrates the birthday of Alan Williams, sponsor of many of our performances, and includes the Geoffrey Keller Brass Ensemble as well as young soloists from the world of opera and oratorio. Click here for more details. Our autumn concert on 23rd November features choral pieces accompanied by strings and harp, including Gounod's St Cecilia Mass, Scarlatti's Dixit Dominus and Mozart's Loreto Mass. Recent performances have included Bach's Magnificat and St John Passion Haydn's Creation, Brahms Requiem, Vaughan Williams's Mass in G, Bach's Wachet Auf, Vivaldi's Beatus Vir and Mozart's Te Deum. In 2008 we marked our 20th anniversary with a concert featuring Mozart's Requiem. We also perform in local festivals, at fund raising concerts, dinners and ceremonial occasions. We are available for private bookings at weddings and memorial services, where we can advise on the choice of music and arrange soloists as well as singing hymns and anthems. This is what we sound like... click the
We have a year-round calendar of fun fund-raising activities (cabaret evening, walks, wine and cheese, book/CD swap, coffee morning, plant sale, quizzes, suppers...) and regular worskhops on voice production and choral singing.
