    Would you like to sing along with us? Join Bishopwearmouth Choral Society or Bishopwearmouth Young Singers. There are currently vacancies in all sections of the Society.

    For information on rehearsals, concerts, concert dress etc please see the Concerts and Rehearsals page.

    Please fill out an enquiry form on the Contacts page to express your interest in becoming a member, contact the Secretary or come along to any rehearsal.

    After a few weeks a small audition will be required before performing in a concert. Section Representatives greet all members prior to each rehearsal and mark a register. Attendance at 75% of the rehearsal sessions is required before participation in any concert. Members who can not fulfill this obligation may approach the conductor and request permission to take part. This may be granted. Subscriptions must be paid in full before participating in a concert in order to ensure that members are fully covered by insurance.

    Praise in Print

    A recent letter to the Sunderland Echo from J.King made the following comments about our summer concert:

    “Many years ago, in a film called The Glenn Miller Story the band leader found the ’sound’ he was searching for when the band played Moonlight Serenade. On Saturday 9th June, I believe David Murray and the Bishopwearmouth Choral Society attained something of what Glenn Miller did. They were absolutely superb. Along with the orchestra and guest singers, the choir certainly made it a night to remember. Having attended the BCS concerts for the past 15 years, enjoying every one of them, I think they surpassed anything they had done before. Long may the choir continue to give such pleasure to the many followers who attend their concerts.”
