SUMMER BREAK
We go on a Summer Break throughout August. We welcome new members in all voice parts and start back singing again on Thursday September 8th at St Barts. If you are looking for a new friendly mixed-voice choir to join, there are NO AUDITIONS, although we welcome experienced singers and people who just love to sing! Come and meet us at St Bart's on any Thursday and if you have recently moved to Bath because of work or study, we would love to meet you at the Bath Welcome Chorus choir, with a busy concert schedule leading up to Christmas.
New concert date you may want to add to your diaries – Thursday November 10th singing at a BIG SING in Bath Abbey … watch this space for more details…

Welcome to the website for The Bath Welcome Chorus Choir. We are a mixed-voice choir who rehearse on Thursday evenings at St Bart’s Church in King Edward Road, Oldfield Park, Bath BA2 3PB rom 7.45pm. Since starting back last year we have performed at a number of concerts in and around Bath including a very special evening in Malmesbury Abbey with our guest Soloist, Rebecca LaChance.
We go on a Summer Break throughout August and the photograph above was taken this July when we (sadly) said goodbye to our accompanist Phil Ridgers. We welcome new members in all voice parts and start back singing again on Thursday September 8th at St Barts.

The Welcome Chorus took part in a fundraising evening for Ukrainian Red Cross appeal in May 2022 which raised £625. Also taking part were the City of Bath Male Choir and Norland College Choir – hear the Welcome Chorus singing ‘Thankful’ below ... Thank you to Emma for sending the video.

Grenville Jones
is one of the best known choir leaders in the UK
HEAR US SING
O perfect Love
The choir recorded a number of popular hymn tunes and they are available to listen to on www.hymsearch.co.uk. Grenville's idea is that people who are searching for a hymn for a special occasion may find it helpful to listen to and see the words for popular hymns to choose for their occasion - 'O Perfect Love' for instance, is a popular Wedding hymn and as a taster here is the Bath Welcome Chorus singing it for you. We hope that this new website will be a useful aid to those who are searching for that special hymn. You can of course download any of them.
The choir has an extensive repertoire and in the past has performed regularly at Bath Abbey as well as many other local churches and concert venues in the West Country. They have performed at Coventry Cathedral and one of the highlights of recent years was a memorable concert with the RAF Central Band supporting the Help for Heroes Charity. It has also appeared with Aled Jones and last year (2018), together with the City of Bath Male Choir (also conducted by Grenville). They helped to raise over £12,000 for the British Heart Foundation in 2017 following the untimely death of a member of both choirs.
Regular appearances at Bath Festival’s ‘Party in the City’ as well as joint concerts with many other groups has contributed to the reputation of the choir as being one of the friendliest and best supported choirs in the City of Bath.
