Welcome to Fleetwood and District Choral Society!

Please read about who we are and what we do. If you enjoy singing, come along and join in a rehearsal to see what it's like!

We are a friendly and welcoming choir based in Fleetwood Lancashire and aim to provide an environment where all interested singers can be part of a large group performing major choral works. The Fleetwood & District Choral Society was established in 1969 and has become a well known group in the Fylde and North West.

            

We currently have 70 members singing standard SATB parts and perform 2 major concerts each year with an invited professional orchestra and soloists performing a wide range of works. Our last concert was held on Saturday May 12th at St Peters Church, Fleetwood where we performed Rutter's Requiem, Vivaldi's Gloria and Handel's Zadok the Priest. The soloists were Lucy Mair and Alexandria Wynn, and we were acompanied by North West Sinfonia and organist Edward Rugman. Once again it was a full house and a very successful concert!

We are now rehearsing for our Summer Concerts of light music. See the Concert page for details.

We are a registered charity number 1031240
