Southport Bach Choir has been bringing choral music to Southport for more than 40 years. The choir has around 50 amateur singers and performs mainly religious music. Despite our name we do not only sing music by J.S. Bach, see our full list of works we have sung ordered by composer or date. We used to be called the Southport Bach Society but after too many enquiries asking when our lectures were held we changed it to the Bach Choir. The choir is conducted by Ian Wells.
We perform three to four concerts in a season and normally at least one of them uses a professional orchestra and soloists. The orchestra is usually a mixture of students from the Royal Northern College of Music, who are just starting on their professional career, and experienced players from the north-west's established orchestras. However, this year we were lucky enough to be joined by the Eighteenth Century Sinfonia playing period instruments for our performance of Haydn's The Creation.
