We are now working hard in preparation for our Christmas Concert which will be held at 3.00pm on Saturday 13 December at St Andrew’s Church, Sandhills Road, Barnt Green.  The Armed Man by Karl Jenkins has temporarily been put to one side and we are preparing such Christmas classics as ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ by Paul McCartney, ‘I wish you Christmas’ by Sir John Rutter, ‘Christmas Jazz’, and’ Winter Wonderland’.  All this as well as the normal traditional Christmas carols everyone loves singing.

After another year of major success, Barnt Green Choral has taken steps to strengthen further both its organisation and capability.  In 1951 the founders would never have dreamed that 75 years later the choir would still be going from strength to strength.  For seven and a half decades the Bromsgrove arts scene has been enhanced by the choir’s splendid renditions of some of the world’s best choral music.

The 2025 – 2026 Season is going to be a massive year of joy, happiness, and celebration for Barnt Green Choral.   It is our 75th anniversary !

Eight members of Barnt Green Choral joined with Bromsgrove Community Choir on Tuesday 1 July 2025 to perform the inventive modern-day cantata ‘AHOY! Sing for the Mary Rose’ at The Artrix Theatre. 

Independent music critic Jamie Morris has reviewed our Sir John Rutter concert and this has been published in today's edition of the Bromsgrove Standard (p19). We thank Jamie for his kind words and once again congratulate Steve Cowperthwaite and all members of the choir on such an outstanding performance.
